And1 wall her in,
So that she cannot find her paths.

But not overtake them;
Yes, she will seek them, but not find them.

For then it was better for me than now.’

That I gave her grain, new wine, and oil,
And multiplied her silver and gold—
Which they prepared for Baal.

And multiplied her silver and gold—
Which they prepared for Baal.
9 “Therefore I will return and take away
My grain in its time
And My new wine in its season,
And will take back My wool and My linen,
Given to cover her nakedness.
My grain in its time
And My new wine in its season,
And will take back My wool and My linen,
Given to cover her nakedness.
10 Now aI will uncover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers,
And no one shall deliver her from My hand.
And no one shall deliver her from My hand.
11 aI will also cause all her mirth to cease,
Her feast days,
Her New Moons,
Her Sabbaths—
All her appointed feasts.

Her New Moons,
Her Sabbaths—
