Hosea 2:5 Context
3Lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that shee was borne, and make her as a wildernesse, and set her like a drie land, and slay her with thirst. 4And I will not haue mercy vpon her children, for they be the children of whordomes. 5For their mother hath played the harlot: shee that conceiued them hath done shamefully: for shee sayd, I will goe after my louers, that giue me my bread and my water, my wooll and my flaxe, mine oyle, and my drinke. 6¶ Therefore behold, I will hedge vp thy way with thornes, and make a wall, that she shall not find her pathes. 7And she shall follow after her louers, but she shall not ouertake them, and she shall seeke them, but shall not find them: then shall she say, I will goe and returne to my first husband, for then was it better with me then now.
