Hosea 2:10-20

10So now I will expose her lewdness before the eyes of her lovers; no one will take her out of my hands.

11I will stop all her celebrations: her yearly festivals, her New Moons, her Sabbath days—all her appointed festivals.

12I will ruin her vines and her fig trees, which she said were her pay from her lovers; I will make them a thicket, and wild animals will devour them.

13I will punish her for the days she burned incense to the Baals; she decked herself with rings and jewelry, and went after her lovers, but me she forgot,” declares the LORD .

14“Therefore I am now going to allure her; I will lead her into the wilderness and speak tenderly to her.

15There I will give her back her vineyards, and will make the Valley of Achor Achor means trouble. a door of hope. There she will respond Or sing as in the days of her youth, as in the day she came up out of Egypt.

16“In that day,” declares the LORD, “you will call me ‘my husband’; you will no longer call me ‘my master. Hebrew baal ’

17I will remove the names of the Baals from her lips; no longer will their names be invoked.

18In that day I will make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, the birds in the sky and the creatures that move along the ground. Bow and sword and battle I will abolish from the land, so that all may lie down in safety.

19I will betroth you to me forever; I will betroth you in Or with; also in verse 20 righteousness and justice, in Or with love and compassion.

20I will betroth you in faithfulness, and you will acknowledge the LORD .
