“For she does not acknowledge that it was I who gave her grain, new wine, and oil, who lavished on her silver and gold — which they crafted for Baal.”
Hosea 2:8 (BSB)
Context Reading
6Therefore, behold, I will hedge up her path with thorns; I will enclose her with a wall, so she cannot find her way. 7She will pursue her lovers but not catch them; she will seek them but not find them. Then she will say, ‘I will return to my first husband, for then I was better off than now.’ 8For she does not acknowledge that it was I who gave her grain, new wine, and oil, who lavished on her silver and gold — which they crafted for Baal. 9Therefore I will take back My grain in its time and My new wine in its season; I will take away My wool and linen, which were given to cover her nakedness. 10And then I will expose her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and no one will deliver her out of My hands.
