12     She says she’s entitled to her vines and fig trees
        because they’re her wages from prostitution; they’re gifts from her lovers.
    But I’m going to destroy them all. I’ll turn them into a tangle of brush,
        and wild animals will eat up the fruit.
13     I swear that I’ll punish her for honoring other masters[a] on My special days,
        even her burning incense to those false gods.
    She got dressed up in her rings and jewelry;
        she went after her lovers, and she forgot about Me.

14     But once she has nothing, I’ll be able to get through to her.
        I’ll entice her and lead her out into the wilderness where we can be alone,
        and I’ll speak right to her heart and try to win her back.
