10 I will strip her naked in front of her lovers, and no one will be able to save her from my power.
11 I will put an end to all her festivities — her annual and monthly festivals and her Sabbath celebrations — all her religious meetings.
12 I will destroy her grapevines and her fig trees, which she said her lovers gave her for serving them. I will turn her vineyards and orchards into a wilderness; wild animals will destroy them.
13 I will punish her for the times that she forgot me when she burnt incense to Baal and put on her jewellery to go chasing after her lovers. The Lord has spoken.
14 So I am going to take her into the desert again; there I will win her back with words of love.
15 I will give back to her the vineyards she had and make Trouble Valley a door of hope. She will respond to me there as she did when she was young, when she came from Egypt.
16 Then once again she will call me her husband — she will no longer call me her Baal.
