Hosea:2:5-7
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 .
*
Therefore ,
behold ,
I will hedge up thy way with thorns ,
and make a wall ,
that she shall not find her paths .
*
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 .
