11 I will put an end to all her celebration:
    her pilgrimage festivals,[a] her monthly new moons, and her weekly Sabbaths—
    all her appointed festivals.
12 I will devastate her vines and her fig trees,
    about which she said, “These are the payment[b] that my lovers gave me.”
    I will make them into a scrub forest,
    and the wild animals will eat the crops.
13 I will punish her for the days with the Baals, on which she repeatedly offered incense to them.
    She adorned herself with her rings[c] and her jewelry,
    and then she chased after her lovers,
    and she forgot me, declares the Lord.
