5 For their mother has been fornicating; she who conceived them has been brought to ruin. For she said, 'I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.'
6 Because of this, behold, I will fence in your way with thorns, and I will surround it with a wall, and she will not find her paths.
7 And she will pursue her lovers, but she will not obtain them, and she will seek them, but she will not find them, and she will say, 'I will go and return to my first husband, because it was to some extent better for me then, than it is now.'
8 And she did not know that I gave her grain and wine and oil, and that I increased her silver and gold, which they made into Baal.
9 For this reason, I will turn back, and I will take away my grain in its time and my wine in its time, and I will set free my wool and my flax, which had covered her disgrace.
10 And now, I will reveal her foolishness by the eyes of her lovers, and no man will rescue her from my hand.
11 And I will cause all her joy to cease: her solemnities, her new moons, her sabbaths, and all her feast dates.
