Hosea 2:13
Berean Standard Bible
I will punish her for the days of the Baals when she burned incense to them, when she decked herself with rings and jewelry, and went after her lovers. But Me she forgot,” declares the LORD.
Context
11I will put an end to all her exultation:
her feasts, New Moons, and Sabbaths—
all her appointed feasts. 12I will destroy her vines and fig trees,
which she thinks are the wages paid by her lovers.
So I will make them into a thicket,
and the beasts of the field will devour them. 13I will punish her for the days of the Baals
when she burned incense to them,
when she decked herself with rings and jewelry,
and went after her lovers.
But Me she forgot,”
declares the LORD. 14“Therefore, behold, I will allure her
and lead her to the wilderness,
and speak to her tenderly. 15There I will give back her vineyards
and make the Valley of Achor *
into a gateway of hope.
There she will respond as she did
in the days of her youth,
as in the day she came up out of Egypt.
