5 "For their mother has played the harlot; She who conceived them has acted shamefully. For she said, 'I will go after my lovers, Who give me my bread and my water, My wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.'

8 "For she does not know that it was I who gave her the grain, the new wine and the oil, And lavished on her silver and gold, Which they used for Baal.

12 "I will destroy her vines and fig trees, Of which she said, 'These are my wages Which my lovers have given me.' And I will make them a forest, And the beasts of the field will devour them.

15 "Then I will give her her vineyards from there, And the valley of Achor as a door of hope. And she will sing there as in the days of her youth, As in the day when she came up from the land of Egypt.

4 Their deeds will not allow them To return to their God. For a spirit of harlotry is within them, And they do not know the LORD .

14 Give them, O LORD -what will You give? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.

8 How can I give you up, O Ephraim? How can I surrender you, O Israel? How can I make you like Admah? How can I treat you like Zeboiim? My heart is turned over within Me, All My compassions are kindled.

10 Where now is your king That he may save you in all your cities, And your judges of whom you requested, "Give me a king and princes "?

11 I gave you a king in My anger And took him away in My wrath.
