Hosea 2:5

For their mother has ^aplayed the harlot;

She who conceived them has acted shamefully.

For she said, ‘^aI will go after my lovers,

Who ^bgive me my bread and my water,

My wool and my flax, my ^coil and my drink.’

Hosea 2:8

“Now she does ^anot know that it was ^bI who gave her the grain, the new wine, and the oil,

And multiplied silver and gold for her,

Which they ¹used for Baal.

And I will ^amake desolate her vines and fig trees,

Of which she said, ‘These are my wages

Which my lovers have given me.’

And I will ^bmake them a forest,

And the ^cbeasts of the field will devour them.
