19 (A)Also my bread that I gave you—(B)I fed you with fine flour and oil and honey—you set before them for (C)a pleasing aroma; and so it was, declares the Lord God.

And (A)she did not know
    that it was (B)I who gave her
    (C)the grain, the wine, and the oil,
and who lavished on (D)her silver and gold,
    (E)which they used for Baal.
Therefore (F)I will take back
    my grain in its time,
    and my wine in its season,
and (G)I will take away my wool and my flax,
    which were to cover her nakedness.
10 Now (H)I will uncover her lewdness
    in the sight of her lovers,
    and no one shall rescue her out of my hand.
11 (I)And I will put an end to all her mirth,
    her feasts, her (J)new moons, her (K)Sabbaths,
    and all her (L)appointed feasts.
12 And (M)I will lay waste her vines and her fig trees,
    (N)of which she said,
‘These are (O)my wages,
    which my lovers have given me.’
I will make them a forest,
    (P)and the beasts of the field shall devour them.
13 And (Q)I will punish her for (R)the feast days of the Baals
    when she burned offerings to them
and (S)adorned herself with her ring and jewelry,
    and went after her lovers
    and forgot me, declares the Lord.

    with fat[a] of lambs,
rams of Bashan and goats,
    with the very finest[b] of the wheat—
    and you drank foaming wine made from (A)the blood of the grape.

15 “But (B)Jeshurun grew fat, and (C)kicked;
    (D)you grew fat, stout, and sleek;
(E)then he forsook God (F)who made him
    and scoffed at (G)the Rock of his salvation.
16 (H)They stirred him to jealousy with strange gods;
    with abominations they provoked him to anger.
17 (I)They sacrificed to demons that were no gods,
    to gods they had never known,
to (J)new gods that had come recently,
    whom your fathers had never dreaded.

21 And when the Lord smelled (A)the pleasing aroma, the Lord said in his heart, “I will never again (B)curse[a] the ground because of man, for (C)the intention of man's heart is evil from his youth. (D)Neither will I ever again strike down every living creature as I have done.
