Hosea 2:12-14

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹² I will devastate her vines and her fig trees,
    about which she said, “These are the payment^[a] that my lovers gave me.”
    I will make them into a scrub forest,
    and the wild animals will eat the crops.
¹³ I will punish her for the days with the Baals, on which she repeatedly offered incense to them.
    She adorned herself with her rings^[b] and her jewelry,
    and then she chased after her lovers,
    and she forgot me, declares the Lord.
¹⁴ But watch! I am going to court her.
    I will bring her into the wilderness.
    I will speak tenderly to her.
