5 Their mother hath played the harlot, and she that bare them is come to confusion: for she sayde, I wyll go after my louers, that geue me my bread and my water, my wooll and flaxe, my oyle and my drinke. 6 Therefore beholde, I wyll stop thy way with thornes, and make a hedge, that she shall not finde her pathes. 7 And though she runne after her louers, yet shall she not ouertake them: she shall seeke them, but not finde them. Then shall she say, I wyll go and returne to my first husbande: for at that tyme it was better with me then nowe. Hosea 2:5-7, Bishops' Bible of 1568. Public domain.
