Hosea 2:10-13 King James Version (KJV)
10 And now will I discover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of mine hand.
11 I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts.
12 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.
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 the LORD.
Hosea 2:10-13Living Bible (TLB)
10 Now I will expose her nakedness in public for all her lovers to see, and no one will be able to rescue her from my hand.
11 “I will put an end to all her joys, her parties, holidays, and feasts. 12 I will destroy her vineyards and her orchards—gifts she claims her lovers gave her—and let them grow into a jungle; wild animals will eat their fruit.
13 “For all the incense she burned to Baal her idol and for the times when she put on her earrings and jewels and went out looking for her lovers and deserted me—for all these things I will punish her,” says the Lord.

These are my thoughts, please share yours.
10 Nakedness is a sign of shame. God was going to put them to shame and hope they look to Him for their shame to go away. Adam and Eve tried to hide from God after their sins because of their shame. No one being able to help her shows that their were a sign of hopeless, God was going to make every thing they clung to in their time of need so they could see they needed Him.
11 They were still keeping the Jewish feasts even though they were living in sins and no longer living for God.
12 They consider all they had was given to them by some one other than God. God was going to show them that He gives and He can also take away. These resources they had would be one reason why people would attack them.
13 We are not to make the mistake as they did in forgetting God. They served everything but God, the One who they should have served.
