11 “I will also (A)put an end to all her gaiety,
Her (B)feasts, her (C)new moons, her sabbaths
And all her festal assemblies.
12 “I will (D)destroy her vines and fig trees,
Of which she said, ‘These are my wages
Which my lovers have given me.’
And I will (E)make them a forest,
And the (F)beasts of the field will devour them.
13 “I will punish her for the (G)days of the Baals
When she used to [a](H)offer sacrifices to them
And (I)adorn herself with her [b]earrings and jewelry,
And follow her lovers, so that she (J)forgot Me,” declares the Lord.
