Hosea 2:1-23 KJV11 - Bible AI

1Say559 ye unto your brethren251, Ammi5971; and to your sisters269, Ruhamah7355. Ammi: that is, My people Ruhamah: that is, Having obtained mercy

2Plead7378 with your mother517, plead7378: for she is not my wife802, neither am I her husband376: let her therefore put away5493 her whoredoms2183 out of her sight6440, and her adulteries5005 from between her breasts7699;

3Lest I strip6584 her naked6174, and set3322 her as in the day3117 that she was born3205, and make7760 her as a wilderness4057, and set7896 her like a dry6723 land776, and slay4191 her with thirst6772.

4And I will not have mercy7355 upon her children1121; for they be the children1121 of whoredoms2183.

5For their mother517 hath played the harlot2181: she that conceived2029 them hath done shamefully3001: for she said559, I will go3212 after310 my lovers157, that give5414 me my bread3899 and my water4325, my wool6785 and my flax6593, mine oil8081 and my drink8250. drink: Heb. drinks

6Therefore, behold, I will hedge7753 up thy way1870 with thorns5518, and make1443 a wall1447, that she shall not find4672 her paths5410. make: Heb. wall a wall

7And she shall follow7291 after her lovers157, but she shall not overtake5381 them; and she shall seek1245 them, but shall not find4672 them: then shall she say559, I will go3212 and return7725 to my first7223 husband376; for then was it better2896 with me than now6258.

8For she did not know3045 that I gave5414 her corn1715, and wine8492, and oil3323, and multiplied7235 her silver3701 and gold2091, which they prepared6213 for Baal1168. wine: Heb. new wine which: or, wherewith they made Baal

9Therefore will I return7725, and take away3947 my corn1715 in the time6256 thereof, and my wine8492 in the season4150 thereof, and will recover5337 my wool6785 and my flax6593 given to cover3680 her nakedness6172. recover: or, take away

10And now will I discover1540 her lewdness5040 in the sight5869 of her lovers157, and none376 shall deliver5337 her out of mine hand3027. lewdness: Heb. folly, or, villany

11I will also cause all her mirth4885 to cease7673, her feast days2282, her new moons2320, and her sabbaths7676, and all her solemn feasts4150.

12And I will destroy8074 her vines1612 and her fig trees8384, whereof she hath said559, These are my rewards866 that my lovers157 have given5414 me: and I will make7760 them a forest3293, and the beasts2416 of the field7704 shall eat398 them. destroy: Heb. make desolate

13And I will visit6485 upon her the days3117 of Baalim1168, wherein she burned incense6999 to them, and she decked5710 herself with her earrings5141 and her jewels2484, and she went3212 after310 her lovers157, and forgat7911 me, saith5002 the LORD3068.

14Therefore, behold, I will allure6601 her, and bring3212 her into the wilderness4057, and speak1696 comfortably3820 unto her. comfortably: or, friendly: Heb. to her heart

15And I will give5414 her her vineyards3754 from thence, and the valley6010 of Achor5911 for a door6607 of hope8615: and she shall sing6030 there, as in the days3117 of her youth5271, and as in the day3117 when she came up5927 out of the land776 of Egypt4714.

16And it shall be at that day3117, saith5002 the LORD3068, that thou shalt call7121 me Ishi376; and shalt call7121 me no more Baali1180. Ishi: that is, My husband Baali: that is, My lord

17For I will take away5493 the names8034 of Baalim1168 out of her mouth6310, and they shall no more be remembered2142 by their name8034.

18And in that day3117 will I make3772 a covenant1285 for them with the beasts2416 of the field7704, and with the fowls5775 of heaven8064, and with the creeping things7431 of the ground127: and I will break7665 the bow7198 and the sword2719 and the battle4421 out of the earth776, and will make them to lie down7901 safely983.

19And I will betroth781 thee unto me for ever5769; yea, I will betroth781 thee unto me in righteousness6664, and in judgment4941, and in lovingkindness2617, and in mercies7356.

20I will even betroth781 thee unto me in faithfulness530: and thou shalt know3045 the LORD3068.

21And it shall come to pass in that day3117, I will hear6030, saith5002 the LORD3068, I will hear6030 the heavens8064, and they shall hear6030 the earth776;

22And the earth776 shall hear6030 the corn1715, and the wine8492, and the oil3323; and they shall hear6030 Jezreel3157.

23And I will sow2232 her unto me in the earth776; and I will have mercy7355 upon her that had not obtained mercy7355 3818; and I will say559 to them which were not my people5971, Thou art my people5971; and they shall say559, Thou art my God430.
