8 Therefore see, I will hedge her in with thorns, and I will build a wall around her so she cannot find her paths.
9 Then she will chase after her lovers, but she will not overtake them. She will seek them, but not find. Then she will say: ‘Let me go and return to my first husband, for was it better for me then, than now.’
10 But she did not realize that I Myself gave her the grain, the wine and the fresh oil. I lavished on her silver, also gold— which they made into Baal.
11 Therefore I will return and take back My grain in its season, and My new wine at its appointed time, and I will snatch away My wool and My linen for covering her nakedness.
12 So now I will uncover her lewdness to the eyes of her lovers, and no one will rescue her from My hand.
13 I will also put an end to all her rejoicing— her feasts, her New Moon, her Shabbat, and all her moadim.
14 I will also devastate her vines and her fig trees, of which she said: ‘These are my payment that my lovers have given to me.’ But I will turn them into a thicket and beasts of the field will devour them.
