9. That is why I will take back my grain when it has ripenedand my new wine when it’s in season.I will take away the wool and the linenthat I gave her to cover her naked body.
10. I will show her naked body to her lovers,and no one will rescue her from my power.
11. I will put an end to all her celebrations:her annual festivals, her New Moon Festivals,her weekly worship days—all her appointed festivals.
12. I will destroy her grapevines and fig trees.She said that they were gifts from her lovers.I will turn her vineyards into a forest, and wild animals will devour them.
13. I will punish her for all the times she burned incenseas an offering to other gods—the Baals.She put on her rings and jewelry,and she chased after her lovers.She forgot me,” declares the Lord.
14. “That is why I’m going to win her back.I will lead her into the desert.I will speak tenderly to her.
15. I will give her vineyards there.I will make the valley of Achor [Disaster] a door of hope.Then she will respond as she did when she was young,as she did when she came out of Egypt.
16. “On that day she will call me her husband,” declares the Lord.“She will no longer call me her master.
