“But now I will take back the ripened grain and new wine I generously provided each harvest season. I will take away the wool and linen clothing I gave her to cover her nakedness.

So I bought her back for fifteen pieces of silver and five bushels of barley and a measure of wine.

to worship other gods. “Wine has robbed my people of their understanding.

On royal holidays, the princes get drunk with wine, carousing with those who mock them.

They do not cry out to me with sincere hearts. Instead, they sit on their couches and wail. They cut themselves, begging foreign gods for grain and new wine, and they turn away from me.

So now your harvests will be too small to feed you. There will be no grapes for making new wine.

There you will make no offerings of wine to the Lord. None of your sacrifices there will please him. They will be unclean, like food touched by a person in mourning. All who present such sacrifices will be defiled. They may eat this food themselves, but they may not offer it to the Lord.

My people will again live under my shade. They will flourish like grain and blossom like grapevines. They will be as fragrant as the wines of Lebanon.
