Hosea 2:8-22 Jubilee Bible (JUB)

8. For she did not recognize that I gave her the wheat and the wine and the oil and multiplied unto them the silver and the gold, with which they made Baal.

9. Therefore I will return and take away my wheat in the time thereof and my wine in the season thereof and will recover my wool and my flax that I had given to cover her nakedness.

10. And now I will uncover her folly in the sight of her lovers, and no one shall deliver her out of my hand.

11. I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast, her new moon, and her sabbath, and all her festivities.

12. And I will cause her vine and her fig tree to be cut down, of which she has said, These are my wages that my lovers have given me; and I will reduce them to a thicket, and the beasts of the field shall eat them.

13. And I will visit upon her the times of the Baals, unto whom she burned incense, and she adorned herself with her earrings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers, oblivious of me, saith the Lord.

14. Therefore, behold, I will induce her and bring her into the wilderness and speak unto her heart.

15. And I will give her vineyards from there, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope; and she shall sing there as in the days of her youth and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.

16. And it shall be in that time, saith the Lord, that thou shalt call me My Husband, and shalt no longer call me Baali.

17. For I will take away the names of Baals out of her mouth, and they shall no longer be remembered by their name.

18. And in that time I will make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field and with the fowls of the heaven and with the serpents of the earth; and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle of the earth and will cause them to sleep safely.

19. And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness and in judgment and in mercy.

20. I will even betroth thee unto me in faith: and thou shalt know the Lord.

21. And it shall come to pass in that day, I will respond, saith the Lord, I will respond to the heavens, and they shall respond to the earth;

22. and the earth shall respond to the wheat and the wine and the oil; and they shall respond to Jezreel.
