strkjv@Hosea:2:1 @ Say ye unto your brethren , Ammi ; and to your sisters , Ruhamah .
strkjv@Hosea:2:2 @ Plead 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 ;
strkjv@Hosea:2:3 @ Lest 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 .
strkjv@Hosea:2:4 @ And I will not have mercy upon her children ; for they be the children of whoredoms .
strkjv@Hosea: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 .
strkjv@Hosea:2:6 @ Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns , and make a wall , that she shall not find her paths .
strkjv@Hosea:2:7 @ 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 .
strkjv@Hosea:2:8 @ For she did not know that I gave her corn , and wine , and oil , and multiplied her silver and gold , which they prepared for Baal .
strkjv@Hosea:2:9 @ Therefore 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 .
strkjv@Hosea:2:10 @ And now will I discover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers , and none shall deliver her out of mine hand .
strkjv@Hosea:2:11 @ I will also cause all her mirth to cease , her feast days , her new moons , and her sabbaths , and all her solemn feasts .
strkjv@Hosea:2:12 @ And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees t@#en#, 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.
strkjv@Hosea:2:13 @ And 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 n@#um# the LORD Y@hovah#.
strkjv@Hosea:2:14 @ Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness , and speak comfortably unto her.
strkjv@Hosea:2:15 @ And 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 .
strkjv@Hosea:2:16 @ And it shall be at that day , saith n@#um# the LORD Y@hovah#, that thou shalt call me Ishi ; and shalt call me no more Baali .
strkjv@Hosea:2:17 @ For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth , and they shall no more be remembered by their name .
strkjv@Hosea:2:18 @ And 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 .
strkjv@Hosea:2:19 @ And 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 .
strkjv@Hosea:2:20 @ I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness : and thou shalt know the LORD Y@hovah#.
strkjv@Hosea:2:21 @ And it shall come to pass in that day , I will hear , saith n@#um# the LORD Y@hovah#, I will hear the heavens , and they shall hear the earth ;
strkjv@Hosea:2:22 @ And the earth shall hear the corn , and the wine , and the oil ; and they shall hear Jezreel Yizr@#e'l#.
strkjv@Hosea:2:23 @ And 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 .

bible Hosea:2 -
kjv@Hosea:2:16 > > RandyP : The symbolism of husband and wife has been used to depict our spiritual nature by several authors in many places in the bible. Here, if I read this right is an interesting insight of a wife that sees her God as Baali or master when she should see him as Ishi husband. His love then is the key difference. A master can master with or without love, impose his rule over her. A husband loves and gives himself for her, he builds her up and protects her. Her perception and response is much different given the two.
