11     So I’m going to end all of her celebrations
        now that she uses them to honor other masters
    Her pilgrimage festivals, her new moon celebrations, her Sabbath feasts,
        and all her other gatherings.
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.
