10 Then I'll strip her naked
in the sight of her lovers.[a]
    No one can rescue her.

11 I'll stop Israel's celebrations—
no more New Moon Festivals,
    Sabbaths, or other feasts.
12 She said, “My lovers gave me
vineyards and fig trees
    as payment[b] for sex.”

Now I, the Lord, will ruin
    her vineyards and fig trees;
they will become clumps of weeds
    eaten by wild animals.
