11 I will also (A)put an end to all her joy,
Her (B)feasts, her (C)new moons, her Sabbaths,
And all her festivals.
12 And I will (D)destroy her vines and fig trees,
Of which she said, ‘They are my wages for prostitution
Which my lovers have given me.’
And I will (E)turn them into a forest,
And the (F)animals 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 nose ring and jewelry,
And follow her lovers, so that she (J)forgot Me,” declares the Lord.
