8. For she did not knowThat I gave her grain, new wine, and oil,And multiplied her silver and gold—Which they prepared for Baal.
9. “Therefore I will return and take awayMy grain in its timeAnd My new wine in its season,And will take back My wool and My linen,Given to cover her nakedness.
10. Now I will uncover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers,And no one shall deliver her from My hand.
11. 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 herFor 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.
14. “Therefore, behold, I will allure her,Will bring her into the wilderness,And speak comfort to her.
15. I will give her her vineyards from there,And the Valley of Achor as a door of hope;She shall sing there,As in the days of her youth,As in the day when she came up from the land of Egypt.
