Hosea 2:12 in Context — Hosea 2

10 Y ahora descubriré yo su locura delante de los ojos de sus amantes, y nadie la librará de mi mano.

11 Y haré cesar todo su gozo, sus fiestas, sus nuevas lunas y sus sábados, y todas sus festividades.

12 Y haré talar sus vides y sus higueras, de que ha dicho: Mi salario me son, que me han dado mis amantes. Y reducirélas á un matorral, y las comerán las bestias del campo.

13 Y visitaré sobre ella los tiempos de los Baales, á los cuales incensaba, y adornábase de sus zarcillos y de sus joyeles, é íbase tras sus amantes olvidada de mí, dice Jehová.

14 Empero he aquí, yo la induciré, y la llevaré al desierto, y hablaré á su corazón.
