Oseas 2

1Say^H559 ye unto your brethren^H251, Ammi^H5971; and to your sisters^H269, Ruhamah^H7355. 2Contend^H7378 with your mother^H517, contend^H7378; for she is not my wife^H802, neither am I her husband^H376; and let her put away^H5493 her whoredoms^H2183 from her face^H6440, and her adulteries^H5005 from between her breasts^H7699; 3lest I strip^H6584 her naked^H6174, and set^H3322 her as in the day^H3117 that she was born^H3205, and make^H7760 her as a wilderness^H4057, and set^H7896 her like a dry^H6723 land^H776, and slay^H4191 her with thirst^H6772. 4Yea, upon her children^H1121 will I have no mercy^H7355; for they are children^H1121 of whoredom^H2183; 5for their mother^H517 hath played the harlot^H2181; she that conceived^H2029 them hath done shamefully^H3001; for she said^H559, I will go^H3212 after^H310 my lovers^H157, that give^H5414 me my bread^H3899 and my water^H4325, my wool^H6785 and my flax^H6593, mine oil^H8081 and my drink^H8250. 6Therefore, behold, I will hedge^H7753 up thy way^H1870 with thorns^H5518, and I will build^H1443 a wall^H1447 against her, that she shall not find^H4672 her paths^H5410. 7And she shall follow^H7291 after her lovers^H157, but she shall not overtake^H5381 them; and she shall seek^H1245 them, but shall not find^H4672 them: then shall she say^H559, I will go^H3212 and return^H7725 to my first^H7223 husband^H376; for then was it better^H2896 with me than now^H6258. 8For she did not know^H3045 that I gave^H5414 her the grain^H1715, and the new wine^H8492, and the oil^H3323, and multiplied^H7235 unto her silver^H3701 and gold^H2091, which they used^H6213 for Baal^H1168. 9Therefore will I take^H3947 back^H7725 my grain^H1715 in the time^H6256 thereof, and my new wine^H8492 in the season^H4150 thereof, and will pluck^H5337 away my wool^H6785 and my flax^H6593 which should have covered^H3680 her nakedness^H6172. 10And now will I uncover^H1540 her lewdness^H5040 in the sight^H5869 of her lovers^H157, and none^H376 shall deliver^H5337 her out of my hand^H3027. 11I will also cause all her mirth^H4885 to cease^H7673, her feasts^H2282, her new moons^H2320, and her sabbaths^H7676, and all her solemn assemblies^H4150. 12And I will lay waste^H8074 her vines^H1612 and her fig-trees^H8384, whereof she hath said^H559, These are my hire^H866 that my lovers^H157 have given^H5414 me; and I will make^H7760 them a forest^H3293, and the beasts^H2416 of the field^H7704 shall eat^H398 them. 13And I will visit^H6485 upon her the days^H3117 of the Baalim^H1168, unto which she burned incense^H6999, when she decked^H5710 herself with her ear-rings^H5141 and her jewels^H2484, and went^H3212 after^H310 her lovers^H157, and forgat^H7911 me, saith^H5002 Jehovah^H3068. 14Therefore, behold, I will allure^H6601 her, and bring^H3212 her into the wilderness^H4057, and speak^H1696 comfortably^H3820 unto her. 15And I will give^H5414 her her vineyards^H3754 from thence, and the valley^H6010 of Achor^H5911 for a door^H6607 of hope^H8615; and she shall make answer^H6030 there, as in the days^H3117 of her youth^H5271, and as in the day^H3117 when she came up^H5927 out of the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714. 16And it shall be at that day^H3117, saith^H5002 Jehovah^H3068, that thou shalt call^H7121 me Ishi^H376, and shalt call^H7121 me no more Baali^H1180. 17For I will take away^H5493 the names^H8034 of the Baalim^H1168 out of her mouth^H6310, and they shall no more be mentioned^H2142 by their name^H8034. 18And in that day^H3117 will I make^H3772 a covenant^H1285 for them with the beasts^H2416 of the field^H7704, and with the birds^H5775 of the heavens^H8064, and with the creeping things^H7431 of the ground^H127: and I will break^H7665 the bow^H7198 and the sword^H2719 and the battle^H4421 out of the land^H776, and will make them to lie down^H7901 safely^H983. 19And I will betroth^H781 thee unto me for ever^H5769; yea, I will betroth^H781 thee unto me in righteousness^H6664, and in justice^H4941, and in lovingkindness^H2617, and in mercies^H7356. 20I will even betroth^H781 thee unto me in faithfulness^H530; and thou shalt know^H3045 Jehovah^H3068. 21And it shall come to pass in that day^H3117, I will answer^H6030, saith^H5002 Jehovah^H3068, I will answer^H6030 the heavens^H8064, and they shall answer^H6030 the earth^H776; 22and the earth^H776 shall answer^H6030 the grain^H1715, and the new wine^H8492, and the oil^H3323; and they shall answer^H6030 Jezreel^H3157. 23And I will sow^H2232 her unto me in the earth^H776; and I will have mercy^H7355 upon her that had not obtained mercy^H7355; and I will say^H559 to them that were not my people^H5971, Thou art my people^H5971; and they shall say^H559, Thou art my God^H430.
