For she didn’t know that I gave her the grain, the new wine, and the oil,
    and multiplied to her silver and gold, which they used for Baal.
Therefore I will take back my grain in its time,
    and my new wine in its season,
    and will pluck away my wool and my flax which should have covered her nakedness.
10 Now I will uncover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers,
    and no one will deliver her out of my hand.
11 I will also cause all her celebrations to cease:
    her feasts, her new moons, her Sabbaths, and all her solemn assemblies.
12 I will lay waste her vines and her fig trees,
    about which she has said, ‘These are my wages that my lovers have given me;
    and I will make them a forest,’
    and the animals of the field shall eat them.
13 I will visit on her the days of the Baals,
    to which she burned incense,
when she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels,
    and went after her lovers,
    and forgot me,” says Yahweh.

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.
