11 I will also (A)cease all her joy,
Her (B)feasts, her (C)new moons, her sabbaths,
And all her appointed times.
12 And I will (D)make desolate 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 So I will visit the (G)days of the Baals upon her
When she used to [a](H)offer offerings in smoke to them
And (I)adorn herself with her [b]earrings and jewelry
And go after her lovers, so that she (J)forgot Me,” declares Yahweh.
