New Testament

Hosea 2:8-12 English Standard Version (ESV)

8. And she did not knowthat it was I who gave her the grain, the wine, and the oil,and who lavished on her silver and gold, which they used for Baal.

9. Therefore I will take backmy 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 lewdnessin the sight of her lovers,and no one shall rescue her out of my hand.

11. And I will put an end to all her mirth,her feasts, her new moons, her Sabbaths,and all her appointed feasts.

12. And I will lay waste her vines and her fig trees, of which she said,‘These are my wages,which my lovers have given me.’I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall devour them.
