Hosea 2:6-8
New International Reader's Version
6 So I will block her path with bushes that have thorns.
I’ll build a wall around her.
Then she can’t go to her lovers.
7 She will still chase after her lovers.
But she won’t catch them.
She’ll look for them.
But she won’t find them.
Then she’ll say,
‘I’ll go back to my husband.
That’s where I was at first.
I was better off then than I am now.’
8 She wouldn’t admit that I was the one
who gave her everything she had.
I provided her with grain, olive oil and fresh wine.
I gave her plenty of silver and gold.
But she used it to make statues of Baal.
