Hosea 2:12-20
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 2
12
And I will destroy her vines and fig trees,
Of which she said, ‘They are my wages for prostitution
Which my lovers have given me.’
And I will turn them into a forest,
And the animals of the field will devour them.
13
I will punish her for the days of the Baals
When she used to offer sacrifices to them
And adorn herself with her nose ring and jewelry,
And follow her lovers, so that she forgot Me,' declares the
Lord
.
14
'Therefore, behold, I am going to persuade her,
Bring her
into
the wilderness,
And speak kindly to her.
15
Then I will give her her vineyards from there,
And the Valley of Achor as a door of hope.
And she will respond there as in the days of her youth,
As in the day when she went up from the land of Egypt.
16
And it will come about on that day,' declares the
Lord
,
'That you will call Me my husband
And no longer call Me my Baal.
17
For I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth,
So that they will no longer be mentioned by their names.
18
On that day I will also make a covenant for them
With the animals of the field,
The birds of the sky,
And the crawling things of the ground.
And I will eliminate the bow, the sword, and war from the land,
And will let them lie down in safety.
19
I will betroth you to Me forever;
Yes, I will betroth you to Me in righteousness and in justice,
In favor and in compassion,
20
And I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness.
Then you will know the
Lord
.
King James Version
Chapter 2
12
And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, whereof she hath said, These are my rewards that my lovers have given me: and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them.
13
And I will visit upon her the days of Baalim, wherein she burned incense to them, and she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers, and forgat me, saith the
Lord
.
14
Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her.
15
And I will give her her vineyards from thence, 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 at that day, saith the
Lord
, that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali.
17
For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name.
18
And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down 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 lovingkindness, and in mercies.
20
I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the
Lord
.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 2
12
I will devastate her vines and fig trees.
She thinks that these are her wages
that her lovers have given her.
I will turn them into a thicket,
and the wild animals will eat them.
13
And I will punish her for the days of the Baals,
to which she burned incense.
She put on her rings and her jewelry
and followed her lovers,
but she forgot me.
This is the
Lord
’s declaration.
14
Therefore, I am going to persuade her,
lead her to the wilderness,
and speak tenderly to her.
15
There I will give her vineyards back to her
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 out of the land of Egypt.
16
In that day— this is the
Lord
’s declaration— you will call me, "My husband,"
and no longer call me, "My Baal."
17
For I will remove the names of the Baals
from her mouth;
they will no longer be remembered by their names.
18
On that day I will make a covenant for them
with the wild animals, the birds of the sky,
and the creatures that crawl on the ground.
I will shatter bow, sword,
and weapons of war in the land
and will enable the people to rest securely.
19
I will take you to be my wife forever.
I will take you to be my wife in righteousness,
justice, love, and compassion.
20
I will take you to be my wife in faithfulness,
and you will know the
Lord
.
New Living Translation
Chapter 2
12
I will destroy her grapevines and fig trees,
things she claims her lovers gave her.
I will let them grow into tangled thickets,
where only wild animals will eat the fruit.
13
I will punish her for all those times
when she burned incense to her images of Baal,
when she put on her earrings and jewels
and went out to look for her lovers
but forgot all about me,'
says the
Lord
.
14
'But then I will win her back once again.
I will lead her into the desert
and speak tenderly to her there.
15
I will return her vineyards to her
and transform the Valley of Trouble into a gateway of hope.
She will give herself to me there,
as she did long ago when she was young,
when I freed her from her captivity in Egypt.
16
When that day comes,' says the
Lord
,
'you will call me ‘my husband’
instead of ‘my master.’
17
O Israel, I will wipe the many names of Baal from your lips,
and you will never mention them again.
18
On that day I will make a covenant
with all the wild animals and the birds of the sky
and the animals that scurry along the ground
so they will not harm you.
I will remove all weapons of war from the land,
all swords and bows,
so you can live unafraid
in peace and safety.
19
I will make you my wife forever,
showing you righteousness and justice,
unfailing love and compassion.
20
I will be faithful to you and make you mine,
and you will finally know me as the
Lord
.

which my lovers have given me.’
I will make them a forest,
and the beasts of the field shall devour them.

when she burned offerings to them
and adorned herself with her ring and jewelry,

"Therefore, behold, I will allure her,
and bring her into the wilderness,
and speak tenderly to her.

Lord

New King James Version
Chapter 2
12
“And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees,
Of which she has said,
‘These
are
my wages that my lovers have given me.’
So I will make them a forest,
And the beasts of the field shall eat them.
13
I will punish her
For the days of the Baals to which she burned incense.
She decked herself with her earrings and jewelry,
And went after her lovers;
But Me she forgot,” says the
Lord
.
14
“Therefore, behold, I will allure her,
Will bring her into the wilderness,
And speak comfort to her.
15
I will give her her vineyards from there,
And the Valley of Achor as a door of hope;
She shall sing there,
As in the days of her youth,
As in the day when she came up from the land of Egypt.
16
“And it shall be, in that day,”
Says the
Lord
,
“
That
you will call Me ‘My Husband,’
And no longer call Me ‘My Master,’
17
For I will take from her mouth the names of the Baals,
And they shall be remembered by their name no more.
18
In that day I will make a covenant for them
With the beasts of the field,
With the birds of the air,
And
with
the creeping things of the ground.
Bow and sword of battle I will shatter from the earth,
To make them lie down safely.
19
“I will betroth you to Me forever;
Yes, I will betroth you to Me
In righteousness and justice,
In lovingkindness and mercy;
20
I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness,
And you shall know the
Lord
