For she did not know that I gave her grain and wine and oil, and I multiplied her silver and the gold they prepared for Baal.

So I will return and take My grain in its time, and My wine in its season. And I will take back My wool and My flax she uses to cover her nakedness.

And now I will reveal her shamefulness to the eyes of her lovers, and not a man shall deliver her out of My hand.

I will also cause all her joy to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts.

And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, of which she has said, They are my rewards that my lovers have given me. And I will set them for a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them.

And I will visit on her the days of the Baals in which she burned incense to them. Yea, she adorned herself with her nose rings, and her jewels, and she went after her lovers and forgot Me, says Jehovah.
