6 “Therefore, behold,
aI will hedge up your way with thorns,
And1 wall her in,
So that she cannot find her paths.
aI will hedge up your way with thorns,
And1 wall her in,
So that she cannot find her paths.
7 She will1 chase her lovers,
But not overtake them;
Yes, she will seek them, but not find them.
Then she will say,
a‘I will go and return to my bfirst husband,
For then it was better for me than now.’
But not overtake them;
Yes, she will seek them, but not find them.
Then she will say,
a‘I will go and return to my bfirst husband,
For then it was better for me than now.’
8 For she did not aknow
That I gave her grain, new wine, and oil,
And multiplied her silver and gold—
Which they prepared for Baal.
That I gave her grain, new wine, and oil,
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 feast days,
Her New Moons,
Her Sabbaths—
All her appointed feasts.
