8 She does not recognize that it is I who gave her the grain, the new wine, and the oil.I lavished silver and gold on her,which they used for Baal.
9 Therefore, I will take back My grain in its time and My new wine in its season;I will take away My wool and linen,which were to cover her nakedness.
10 Now I will expose her shame in the sight of her lovers,and no one will rescue her from My hands.
11 I will put an end to all her celebrations: her feasts, New Moons, and Sabbaths —all her festivals.
12 I will devastate her vines and fig trees. She thinks that these are her wagesthat her lovers have given her.I will turn them into a thicket, and the wild animals will eat them.
13 And I will punish her for the days of the Baals when she burned incense to them, put on her rings and jewelry, and went after her lovers,but forgot Me. This is the Lord’s declaration.
14 Therefore, I am going to persuade her,lead her to the wilderness, and speak tenderly to her.
