Hosea 2:13-15

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹³ I will punish her for all the times she burned incense
as an offering to other gods—the Baals.
She put on her rings and jewelry,
and she chased after her lovers.
She forgot me,” declares the Lord.

¹⁴ “That is why I’m going to win her back.
I will lead her into the desert.
I will speak tenderly to her.
¹⁵ I will give her vineyards there.
I will make the valley of Achor [Disaster] a door of hope.
Then she will respond as she did when she was young,
as she did when she came out of Egypt.
