so that she cannot find her paths.(A)

6 Therefore, Look!
I am going to hedge her path[a] with thorns,[b]
and I will build a stone wall, a stone wall against her,
and she will not find her paths.
7 Then she will pursue her lovers,[c]
but she will not overtake them;
she will seek them and not find them;
and she will say, “I will go
and return to my first husband
because it was better for me then than now.”
