Hosea 2:1 (NRSV) New Revised Standard Version

1 Say to your brother, Ammi, and to your sister, Ruhamah.
2 Plead with your mother, plead-- for she is not my wife, and I am not her husband-- that she put away her whoring from her face, and her adultery from between her breasts,
3 or I will strip her naked and expose her as in the day she was born, and make her like a wilderness, and turn her into a parched land, and kill her with thirst.
4 Upon her children also I will have no pity, because they are children of whoredom.
5 For their mother has played the whore; she who conceived them has acted shamefully. For she said, "I will go after my lovers; they give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink."
6 Therefore I will hedge up her way with thorns; and I will build a wall against her, so that she cannot find her paths.
7 She shall pursue her lovers, but not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them. Then she shall say, "I will go and return to my first husband, for it was better with me then than now."
8 She did not know that it was I who gave her the grain, the wine, and the oil, and who lavished upon her silver and gold that they used for Baal.
9 Therefore I will take back my grain in its time, and my wine in its season; and I will take away my wool and my flax, which were to cover her nakedness.
10 Now I will uncover her shame in the sight of her lovers, and no one shall rescue her out of my hand.
11 I will put an end to all her mirth, her festivals, her new moons, her sabbaths, and all her appointed festivals.
12 I will lay waste her vines and her fig trees, of which she said, "These are my pay, which my lovers have given me." I will make them a forest, and the wild animals shall devour them.
13 I will punish her for the festival days of the Baals, when she offered incense to them and decked herself with her ring and jewelry, and went after her lovers, and forgot me, says the LORD.
14 Therefore, I will now allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak tenderly to her.
15 From there I will give her her vineyards, and make the Valley of Achor a door of hope. There she shall respond as in the days of her youth, as at the time when she came out of the land of Egypt.
16 On that day, says the LORD, you will call me, "My husband," and no longer will you call me, "My Baal."
17 For I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth, and they shall be mentioned by name no more.
18 I will make for you a covenant on that day with the wild animals, the birds of the air, and the creeping things of the ground; and I will abolish the bow, the sword, and war from the land; and I will make you lie down in safety.
19 And I will take you for my wife forever; I will take you for my wife in righteousness and in justice, in steadfast love, and in mercy.
20 I will take you for my wife in faithfulness; and you shall know the LORD.
21 On that day I will answer, says the LORD, I will answer the heavens and they shall answer the earth;
22 and the earth shall answer the grain, the wine, and the oil, and they shall answer Jezreel;
23 and I will sow him for myself in the land. And I will have pity on Lo-ruhamah, and I will say to Lo-ammi, "You are my people"; and he shall say, "You are my God."
1 Say H559 ye unto your brethren H251 , Ammi H5971 ; and to your sisters H269 , Ruhamah H7355 .
2 Plead H7378 with your mother H517 , plead H7378 : for H3588 CONJ she H1931 PPRO-3FS is not H3808 NADV my wife H802 CFS-1MS , neither H3808 NADV am I H595 W-PPRO-1MS her husband H376 : let her therefore put away H5493 her whoredoms H2183 out of her sight H6440 , and her adulteries H5005 from between H996 her breasts H7699 ;
3 Lest H6435 CONJ I strip H6584 her naked H6174 , and set H3322 her as in the day H3117 that she was born H3205 , and make H7760 her as a wilderness H4057 , and set H7896 her like a dry H6723 NFS land H776 K-CFS , and slay H4191 her with thirst H6772 .
4 And I will not H3808 NADV have mercy upon H7355 her children H1121 CMP-3FS ; for H3588 CONJ they H1992 be the children H1121 CMP of whoredoms H2183 .
5 For H3588 CONJ their mother H517 hath played the harlot H2181 : she that conceived H2029 them hath done shamefully H954 : for H3588 CONJ she said H559 VQQ3FS , I will go H1980 after H310 PREP my lovers H157 , that give H5414 me my bread H3899 and my water H4325 , my wool H6785 and my flax H6593 , mine oil H8081 and my drink H8250 .
6 Therefore H3651 L-ADV , behold H2009 , I will hedge up H7753 thy way H1870 with thorns H5518 , and make H1443 a wall H1447 , that she shall not H3808 NADV find H4672 her paths H5410 .
7 And she shall follow after H7291 her lovers H157 , but she shall not H3808 W-NPAR overtake H5381 them ; and she shall seek H1245 them , but shall not H3808 W-NPAR find H4672 them : then shall she say H559 , I will go H1980 and return H7725 to H413 PREP my first H7223 husband H376 ; for H3588 CONJ then H227 ADV was it better H2896 AMS with me than now H6258 .
8 For she H1931 did not H3808 NADV know H3045 that H3588 CONJ I H595 PPRO-1MS gave H5414 VQQ1MS her corn H1715 , and wine H8492 , and oil H3323 , and multiplied H7235 her silver H3701 W-CMS and gold H2091 , which they prepared H6213 VQQ3MP for Baal H1168 .
9 Therefore H3651 L-ADV will I return H7725 VQY1MS , and take away H3947 my corn H1715 in the time H6256 B-CFS-3MS thereof , and my wine H8492 in the season H4150 thereof , and will recover H5337 my wool H6785 and my flax H6593 given to cover H3680 her nakedness H6172 .
10 And now H6258 W-ADV will I discover H1540 her lewdness H5040 in the sight H5869 of her lovers H157 , and none H3808 ADV shall deliver H5337 her out of mine hand H3027 .
11 I will also cause all H3605 NMS her mirth H4885 to cease H7673 , her feast days H2282 , her new moons H2320 , and her sabbaths H7676 , and all H3605 NMS her solemn feasts H4150 .
12 And I will destroy H8074 her vines H1612 and her fig trees H8384 , whereof H834 RPRO she hath said H559 VQQ3FS , These H1992 PPRO-3MP are my rewards H866 that H834 RPRO my lovers H157 have given H5414 me : and I will make H7760 them a forest H3293 , and the beasts H2416 CFS of the field H7704 D-NMS shall eat H398 them .
13 And I will visit H6485 upon H5921 PREP-3FS her the days H3117 CMP of Baalim H1168 , wherein H834 RPRO she burned incense H6999 to them , and she decked H5710 herself with her earrings H5141 and her jewels H2484 , and she went H1980 W-VQQ3FS after H310 PREP her lovers H157 , and forgot H7911 me , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
14 Therefore H3651 L-ADV , behold H2009 IJEC , I H595 PPRO-1MS will allure H6601 her , and bring H1980 her into the wilderness H4057 D-NMS , and speak H1696 comfortably H3820 unto her .
15 And I will give H5414 her her vineyards H3754 from thence H8033 M-ADV , and the valley H6010 CMS of Achor H5911 for a door H6607 of hope H8615 NFS : and she shall sing H6030 there H8033 , as in the days H3117 K-CMP of her youth H5271 , and as in the day H3117 when she came up H5927 out of the land H776 of Egypt H4714 .
16 And it shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS at that H1931 D-PPRO-3MS day H3117 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 EDS , that thou shalt call H7121 me Ishi H376 ; and shalt call H7121 me no H3808 W-NPAR more H5750 ADV Baali H1180 .
17 For I will take away H5493 the names H8034 of Baalim H1168 out of her mouth H6310 , and they shall no H3808 W-NPAR more H5750 ADV be remembered H2142 by their name H8034 .
18 And in that H1931 D-PPRO-3MS day H3117 B-AMS will I make H3772 a covenant H1285 NFS for them with H5973 PREP the beasts H2416 CFS of the field H7704 D-NMS , and with H5973 the fowls H5775 NMS of heaven H8064 D-NMD , and with the creeping things H7431 of the ground H127 D-NFS : and I will break H7665 the bow H7198 and the sword H2719 and the battle H4421 out of H4480 PREP the earth H776 D-GFS , and will make them to lie down H7901 safely H983 .
19 And I will betroth H781 thee unto me forever H5769 L-NMS ; yea , I will betroth H781 thee unto me in righteousness H6664 , and in judgment H4941 , and in lovingkindness H2617 , and in mercies H7356 .
20 I will even betroth H781 thee unto me in faithfulness H530 : and thou shalt know H3045 the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
21 And it shall come to pass H1961 W-VQQ3MS in that H1931 D-PPRO-3MS day H3117 B-AMS , I will hear H6030 VQY1MS , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 EDS , I will hear H6030 VQY1MS the heavens H8064 D-AMP , and they H1992 W-PPRO-3MP shall hear H6030 VQY3MP the earth H776 D-GFS ;
22 And the earth H776 WD-GFS shall hear H6030 the corn H1715 , and the wine H8492 , and the oil H3323 ; and they H1992 W-PPRO-3MP shall hear H6030 VQY3MP Jezreel H3157 .
23 And I will sow H2232 her unto me in the earth H776 B-NFS ; and I will have mercy upon H7355 her that had not H3808 NADV obtained mercy H7355 ; and I will say H559 W-VQQ1MS to them which were not H3808 ADV my people H5971 , Thou H859 PPRO-2MS art my people H5971 ; and they H1931 W-PPRO-3MS shall say H559 VQY3MS , Thou art my God H430 CMP-1MS .
