 <<  Hosea 2 >> 

1So let your brothers be called “My People” and your sisters be called “Shown Mercy”.

The Lord promises to punish Israel

2 Accuse! Accuse your mother! She is no longer my wife, and now I, the Lord, am not her husband. Beg her to give up prostitution and stop being unfaithful,

3or I will strip her naked like the day she was born. I will make her barren like a desert, and she will die of thirst.

4You children are the result of her unfaithfulness, and I'll show you no pity.

5Your mother was unfaithful. She was disgraceful and said, “I'll run after my lovers. Everything comes from them— my food and drink, my linen and wool, my olive oil and wine.”

6I, the Lord, will build a fence of thorns to block her path.

7She will run after her lovers, but not catch them; she will search, but not find them. Then she will say, “I'll return to my first husband. Life was better then.”

8She didn't know that her grain, wine, and olive oil were gifts from me, as were the gold and silver she used in worshipping Baal.

9So I'll hold back the harvest of grain and grapes. I'll take back my wool and my linen that cover her body.

10Then I'll strip her naked in the sight of her lovers. No one can rescue her.

11I'll stop Israel's celebrations— no more New Moon Festivals, Sabbaths, or other feasts.

12She said, “My lovers gave me vineyards and fig trees as payment for sex.” Now I, the Lord, will ruin her vineyards and fig trees; they will become clumps of weeds eaten by wild animals.

13I'll punish her for the days she worshipped Baal and burnt incense to him. I'll punish her for the times she forgot about me and wore jewellery and rings to attract her lovers. I, the Lord, have spoken!

The Lord will help Israel

14 Israel, I, the Lord, will lure you into the desert and speak gently to you.

15I will return your vineyards, and then Trouble Valley will become Hopeful Valley. You will say “Yes” to me as you did in your youth, when leaving Egypt.

16I promise that from that day on, you will call me your husband instead of your master.

17I will no longer even let you mention the names of those pagan gods that you called “Master”.

18And I will agree to let you live in peace—you will no longer be attacked by wild animals and birds or by weapons of war.

19I will accept you as my wife for ever, and instead of a bride price I will give you justice, fairness, love, kindness,

20and faithfulness. Then you will truly know who I am.

21I will command the sky to send rain on the earth,

22and it will produce grain, grapes, and olives in Jezreel Valley.

23I will scatter the seeds and show mercy to Lo-Ruhamah. I will say to Lo-Ammi, “You are my people,” and they will answer, “You are our God.”
