5For their mother has been untrue; she who gave them birth has done things of shame, for she said, I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my linen, my oil and my wine.
6For this cause I will put thorns in her road, building up a wall round her so that she may not go on her way.
7And if she goes after her lovers she will not overtake them; if she makes search for them she will not see them; then will she say, I will go back to my first husband, for then it was better for me than now.
8For she had no knowledge that it was I who gave her the grain and the wine and the oil, increasing her silver and gold which they gave to the Baal.
9So I will take away again my grain in its time and my wine, and I will take away my wool and my linen with which her body might have been covered.
10And now I will make her shame clear before the eyes of her lovers, and no one will take her out of my hand.
11And I will put an end to all her joy, her feasts, her new moons, and her Sabbaths, and all her regular meetings.
