    I will wall her in so that she cannot find her way.(A)
She will chase after her lovers but not catch them;
    she will look for them but not find them.(B)
Then she will say,
    ‘I will go back to my husband(C) as at first,(D)
    for then I was better off(E) than now.’

Divine correction

Therefore, I will line her path with thorns;
        and I will build a wall against her,
        so that she can’t find her paths.
She will go after her lovers,
        but she won’t catch up with them;
    she will seek them,
        but she won’t find them.
    Then she will say,
        “I will return to my first husband,
        for I had it better then than now.”
