“Yet she does (A)not know that it was (B)I myself who gave her the grain, the new wine, and the oil,
And lavished on her silver and gold,
Which they [a]used for Baal.
Therefore, I will [b](C)take back My grain at [c]harvest time
And My new wine in its season.
I will also take away My wool and My flax
That I gave to cover her nakedness.
10 So now I will (D)uncover her [d]lewdness
Before the eyes of her lovers,
And no one will rescue her from My hand.
11 I will also (E)put an end to all her joy,
Her (F)feasts, her (G)new moons, her Sabbaths,
And all her festivals.
12 And I will (H)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 (I)turn them into a forest,
And the (J)animals of the field will devour them.
13 I will punish her for the (K)days of the Baals
When she used to [e](L)offer sacrifices to them
And (M)adorn herself with her nose ring and jewelry,
And follow her lovers, so that she (N)forgot Me,” declares the Lord.

For she did not (A)know
That I gave her grain, new wine, and oil,
And multiplied her silver and gold—
Which they prepared for Baal.

“Therefore I will return and take away
My grain in its time
And My new wine in its season,
And will take back My wool and My linen,
Given to cover her nakedness.
10 Now (B)I will uncover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers,
And no one shall deliver her from My hand.
11 (C)I will also cause all her mirth to cease,
Her feast days,
Her New Moons,
Her Sabbaths—
All her appointed feasts.

12 “And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees,
Of which she has said,
‘These are my wages that my lovers have given me.’
So I will make them a forest,
And the beasts of the field shall eat them.
13 I will punish her
For the days of the Baals to which she burned incense.
She decked herself with her earrings and jewelry,
And went after her lovers;
But Me she forgot,” says the Lord.
