Hosea 2:5-7
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 2
5
For their mother has committed prostitution;
She who conceived them has acted shamefully.
For she said, ‘I will go after my lovers,
Who give
me
my bread and my water,
My wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.’
6
Therefore, behold, I will obstruct her way with thorns,
And I will build a stone wall against her so that she cannot find her paths.
7
And she will pursue her lovers, but she will not reach them;
And she will seek them, but will not find
them.
Then she will say, ‘I will go back to my first husband,
Because it was better for me then than now!’
King James Version
Chapter 2
5
For their mother hath played the harlot: she that conceived them hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink.
6
Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths.
7
And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 2
5
Yes, their mother is promiscuous;
she conceived them and acted shamefully.
For she thought, "I will follow my lovers,
the men who give me my food and water,
my wool and flax, my oil and drink."
6
Therefore, this is what I will do:
I will block her way with thorns;
I will enclose her with a wall,
so that she cannot find her paths.
7
She will pursue her lovers but not catch them;
she will look for them but not find them.
Then she will think,
"I will go back to my former husband,
for then it was better for me than now."
New Living Translation
Chapter 2
5
Their mother is a shameless prostitute
and became pregnant in a shameful way.
She said, ‘I’ll run after other lovers
and sell myself to them for food and water,
for clothing of wool and linen,
and for olive oil and drinks.’
6
'For this reason I will fence her in with thornbushes.
I will block her path with a wall
to make her lose her way.
7
When she runs after her lovers,
she won’t be able to catch them.
She will search for them
but not find them.
Then she will think,
‘I might as well return to my husband,
for I was better off with him than I am now.’
English Standard Version
Chapter 2
5
For their mother has played the whore;
she who conceived them has acted shamefully.
For she said, ‘I will go after my lovers,
who give me my bread and my water,
my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.’
6
Therefore I will hedge up her way with thorns,
and I will build a wall against her,
so that she cannot find her paths.
7
She shall pursue her lovers
but not overtake them,
and she shall seek them
but shall not find them.
Then she shall say,
‘I will go and return to my first husband,
for it was better for me then than now.’
New International Version
Chapter 2
5
Their mother has been unfaithful
and has conceived them in disgrace.
She said, ‘I will go after my lovers,
who give me my food and my water,
my wool and my linen, my olive oil and my drink.’
6
Therefore I will block her path with thornbushes;
I will wall her in so that she cannot find her way.
7
She will chase after her lovers but not catch them;
she will look for them but not find them.
Then she will say,
‘I will go back to my husband as at first,
for then I was better off than now.’
New King James Version
Chapter 2
5
For their mother has played the harlot;
She who conceived them has behaved shamefully.
For she said, ‘I will go after my lovers,
Who give
me
my bread and my water,
My wool and my linen,
My oil and my drink.’
6
“Therefore, behold,
I will hedge up your way with thorns,
And wall her in,
So that she cannot find her paths.
7
She will chase her lovers,
But not overtake them;
Yes, she will seek them, but not find
them.
Then she will say,
‘I will go and return to my first husband,
For then
it was
better for me than now.’
