8
She did not know that it was I who gave her the grain, the wine, and the oil, and who lavished upon her silver and gold that they used for Baal.
9
Therefore I will take back my grain in its time, and my wine in its season; and I will take away my wool and my flax, which were to cover her nakedness.
10
Now I will uncover her shame in the sight of her lovers, and no one shall rescue her out of my hand.
11
I will put an end to all her mirth, her festivals, her new moons, her sabbaths, and all her appointed festivals.
12
I will lay waste her vines and her fig trees, of which she said, "These are my pay, which my lovers have given me." I will make them a forest, and the wild animals shall devour them.
