“For she didn’t know that I gave her the grain, the new wine, and the oil,and multiplied to her silver and gold, which they used for Baal.”
Hosea 2:8 (WEB)
Context Reading
6Therefore behold,I will hedge up your way with thorns,and I will build a wall against her,that she can’t find her way. 7She will follow after her lovers,but she won’t overtake them;and she will seek them,but won’t find them.Then she will say, ‘I will go and return to my first husband,for then it was better with me than now.’ 8For she didn’t know that I gave her the grain, the new wine, and the oil,and multiplied to her silver and gold, which they used for Baal. 9Therefore I will take back my grain in its time,and my new wine in its season,and will pluck away my wool and my flax which should have covered her nakedness. 10Now I will uncover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers,and no one will deliver her out of my hand.
