In the sight of her lovers,

Her feasts, her new moons, her sabbaths
And all her festal assemblies.
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 2:12 - “I will destroy her vines and fig trees,
Of which she said, ‘These are my wages
Which my lovers have given me.’

And the beasts of the field will devour them.

When she used to [fn]offer sacrifices to them
And adorn herself with her [fn]earrings and jewelry,

Bring her into the wilderness

So that they will be [fn]mentioned by their names no more.

With the beasts of the field,
The birds of the sky
And the creeping things of the ground.

And will make them lie down in safety.

Then you will know the LORD.
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 2:21 - “It will come about in that day that I will respond,” declares the LORD.

And they will respond to [fn]Jezreel.

And I will say to [fn]those who were not My people,
‘You are My people!’
And [fn]they will say,You are my God!’”
