Hosea 2:5-7 For their mother committed prostitution; she who was pregnant with them caused shame. For she had said, I am going after my lovers, who are giving me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my oil and my drinks."

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ For their mother committed prostitution; she who was pregnant with them caused shame. For she had said, I am going after my lovers, who are giving me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my oil and my drinks." ⁶ Wherefore, behold Me hedging her way with briars, and I dike her with a stone dike, and she will not find her tracks." ⁷ And she pursues her lovers yet shall not overtake them, and she seeks them yet shall not find them. And she says, I will go and return to my first husband, for it was better for me then than now."
