Hosea 2

Gen Z: Hosea 2

1Tell your bros, Ammi; and your sis, Ru–hamah.

2Hit up your mom, like, for real: she ain't my wifey, and I ain't her hubby: she gotta ditch her sus ways and stop the drama.

3Or I’m gonna leave her bare, like day one, make her a desert, and she’ll be thirsty for real.

4I ain't showing love to her kids; they’re just the result of her wild choices.

5She’s been acting like a total player: she thought she could chase after her side pieces for food and vibes.

6So, check it, I’m putting up thorns and a wall, she won’t even find her way.

7She’ll chase after her lovers, but they’ll ghost her; then she’ll realize, “I wanna go back to my first love,” 'cause it was better back then, no cap.

8She didn’t even know I was the one giving her all the good stuff, like food and drinks, while she was serving it up for Baal.

9So I’m gonna take back my blessings at the right time, and recover what I gave her to cover her up.

10And now I’m exposing her wild side in front of her lovers, and no one’s gonna save her from me.

11I’m gonna kill the vibe, stop her parties, her chill days, and all her celebrations, periodt.

12I’m taking down her vines and fig trees that she thought were her rewards from her lovers; I’ll turn them into a forest, and the animals will munch on them.

13I’ll remind her of her days with Baal, when she was all decked out and forgot about me, says the Lord.

14So, I’m gonna pull her in, take her to the wild, and give her some comforting words.

15I’ll bless her with vineyards and give her hope in the valley of Achor; she’ll vibe there like in her youth, like when she left Egypt.

16And on that day, says the Lord, you’ll call me Ishi; no more Baali.

17I’ll erase the names of Baal from her mouth, and they won’t be remembered anymore.

18And on that day, I’ll make a covenant with the wild beasts, the birds, and the ground creatures; I’ll chill the battles and let them lie down safely.

19I’m locking it down with you forever; yeah, I’ll tie the knot in righteousness, judgment, love, and mercy.

20I’ll keep it real with you in faithfulness: and you’ll know the Lord.

21And on that day, I’ll listen, says the Lord, I’ll hear the heavens, and they’ll hear the earth;

22And the earth will vibe with the corn, the wine, and the oil; and they’ll hear Jezreel.

23I’ll plant her in the earth; I’ll show mercy to those who didn’t have it; and I’ll say to those who weren’t my people, “You’re my people;” and they’ll say, “You’re my God.”

KJV: Hosea 2

1Say ye unto your brethren, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ru–hamah.

2Plead with your mother, plead: for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband: let her therefore put away her whoredoms out of her sight, and her adulteries from between her breasts;

3Lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and slay her with thirst.

4And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they be the children of whoredoms.

5For 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.

6Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths.

7And 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.

8For she did not know that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold, which they prepared for Baal.

9Therefore will I return, and take away my corn in the time thereof, and my wine in the season thereof, and will recover my wool and my flax given to cover her nakedness.

10And now will I discover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of mine hand.

11I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts.

12And 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.

13And 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.

14Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her.

15And 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.

16And it shall be at that day, saith the Lord, that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali.

17For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name.

18And 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.

19And 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.

20I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the Lord.

21And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith the Lord, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth;

22And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jezreel.

23And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my God.
