Hosea 2
International Standard Version Help
2So call your brothers 'Ammi,' and your sisters 'Ruhamah.'"H559H251H5971H269H7355

Gomer is Rebuked

2"Call your mother to account, call her?for she is not my wife, and I'm not her husband. Let her do away with her seductive looks and remove her adultery from between her breasts.H7378H517H7378H802H376H5493H2183H6440H5005H7699
3Otherwise, I'll strip her naked?as she was on the day she was born?make her like a wilderness, turn her into a parched land, and cause her to die of thirst.H6584H6174H3322H3117H3205H7760H4057H7896H6723H776H4191H6772
4Furthermore, I'll not show pity on her children, since they are children of prostitution.H7355H1121H1121H2183
5Indeed, their mother has committed prostitution?the one who has been conceiving them has acted disgracefully?when she said 'I'm going after my lovers, who provide me food and water, as well as my wool, my flax, my oil, and my wine.'H517H2181H2029H3001H559H3212H310H157H5414H3899H4325H6785H6593H8081H8250
6"Look how I'm blocking her path with thorns and building a wall to hinder her, so she can't find her way.H7753H1870H5518H1443H1447H4672H5410
7She will pursue her lovers, but she won't catch up with them. She will seek them, but she won't find them. Then she will say, 'I'll go back and return to my first husband, because it was better for me then than now.'H7291H157H5381H1245H4672H559H3212H7725H7223H376H2896H6258
8She didn't recognize that it was I who provided her grain, wine, and oil, and it was I who gave her silver, while they crafted gold for Baal.H3045H5414H1715H8492H3323H7235H3701H2091H6213H1168
9"Therefore I'll return and take back my grain at harvest time and my new wine in its season. I'll take back my wool and my flax that was to have covered her nakedness.H7725H3947H1715H6256H8492H4150H5337H6785H6593H3680H6172
10So now I'll reveal her lewdness to the eyes of her lovers, and no man will rescue her from my control.H1540H5040H5869H157H376H5337H3027
11I'll put a stop to her mirth, along with her celebrations, her new moons, her Sabbaths, and all of her festive assemblies.H4885H7673H2282H2320H7676H4150
12I'll destroy her vines and her fig trees, about which she said, 'These are the earnings that my lovers paid me. I'll make them grow into a forest, and the wild animals will eat from them.'H8074H1612H8384H559H866H157H5414H7760H3293H2416H7704H398
13I'll punish her for the time she has devoted to the Baals, to whom she burned incense, and for whom she put on her earrings and jewels so she could go after her lovers and forget me," declares the Lord.H6485H3117H1168H6999H5710H5141H2484H3212H310H157H7911H5002H3068

Alluring a Wayward Wife

14"Therefore, look! I will now allure her. I will make her go out to the wilderness, and will speak to her heart.H6601H3212H4057H1696H3820
15There I will restore her vineyards to her, and the Valley of Achor will become a doorway to hope. There she will respond as she did in her youth, when she came up from Egypt."H5414H3754H6010H5911H6607H8615H6030H3117H5271H3117H5927H776H4714

The Restoration of Israel

16"It will come about at that time," declares the Lord, "that you will address me as 'My husband,' and you will no longer call me 'My master'.H3117H5002H3068H7121H376H7121H1180
17I will remove the names of the Baals from her vocabulary?they will not be remembered by their names anymore.H5493H8034H1168H6310H2142H8034
18I will make a covenant with them at that time, a covenant with the wild animals of the field, with the birds of the air, and with the creatures of the ground. I will banish the battle bow, the sword, and war from the earth. I will cause my people to lie down where it is safe.H3117H3772H1285H2416H7704H5775H8064H7431H127H7665H7198H2719H4421H776H7901H983
19I will make you my wife forever?I will make you my wife in a way that is righteous, in a manner that is just, by a love that is gracious, and by a motive that is mercy.H781H5769H781H6664H4941H2617H7356
20I will make you my wife because of my faithfulness, and you will know the Lord.H781H530H3045H3068
21"It will come about at that time that I will respond," declares the Lord, "I will respond to the heavens, and they will respond to the earth.H3117H6030H5002H3068H6030H8064H6030H776
22The earth will respond with grain, new wine, and oil, and they will respond to Jezreel.H776H6030H1715H8492H3323H6030H3157
23I will plant my people in the land for myself. I will show mercy on her who has received no mercy I will say to those who are not my people, 'You are my people!' and they will say, 'You are my God.'"H2232H776H7355H7355H3818H559H5971H5971H559H430
