Hosea 2:8-10
Contemporary English Version

8 She didn't know that her grain,
wine, and olive oil
    were gifts from me,
as were the gold and silver
    she used in worshiping Baal.[a]

9 So I'll hold back the harvest
    of grain and grapes.
I'll take back
my wool and my linen
    that cover her body.
10 Then I'll strip her naked
in the sight of her lovers.[b]
    No one can rescue her.

Hosea 2:8-10
New International Version

8 She has not acknowledged(A) that I was the one
    who gave her the grain, the new wine and oil,(B)
who lavished on her the silver and gold(C)—
    which they used for Baal.(D)

9 “Therefore I will take away my grain(E) when it ripens,
    and my new wine(F) when it is ready.
I will take back my wool and my linen,
    intended to cover her naked body.
10 So now I will expose(G) her lewdness
    before the eyes of her lovers;(H)
    no one will take her out of my hands.(I)
