And 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.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 12 is found in chapter 2 of Hosea. God announces that he will temporarily withdraw the agricultural products and celebrations that Israel had turned into occasions of false worship. Nakedness and shame symbolize the exposure of the unfaithfulness that had remained hidden beneath religious and economic prosperity. The language of "days of the Baals" identifies the problem as a deliberate breach of faithfulness to the Lord.

Nun will ich ihre Schande aufdecken vor den Augen ihrer Buhlen, und niemand soll sie von meiner Hand erretten.
Y haré talar sus vides y sus higueras, de que ha dicho: Mi salario me son, que me han dado mis amantes. Y reducirelas a un matorral, y las comerán las bestias del campo.
Devastaré sus vides y sus higueras, de las que dijo: “Son la paga que me han dado mis amantes”. Las convertiré en un matorral y las devorarán las fieras del campo.
Je ravagerai ses vignes et ses figuiers, dont elle disait: C'est le salaire que m'ont donné mes amants! Je les réduirai en une forêt, et les bêtes des champs les dévoreront.
E deserterò le sue viti, e i suoi fichi, dei quali ella diceva: Queste cose sono il mio premio, che i miei amanti mi hanno donato; ed io li ridurrò in bosco, e le fiere della campagna li mangeranno.
E devastarei a sua vide e a sua figueira, de que ela diz: É esta a minha paga que me deram os meus amantes; eu, pois, farei delas um bosque, e as feras do campo as devorarão.
我要毀壞她的葡萄樹和無花果樹, 就是她所說「我所愛的給我為賞賜」的; 我要使它們變為荒林, 為野地的走獸所吞吃。
