7. When she runs after her lovers,she won’t be able to catch them.She will search for thembut not find them.Then she will think,‘I might as well return to my husband,for I was better off with him than I am now.’
8. She doesn’t realize it was I who gave her everything she has—the grain, the new wine, the olive oil;I even gave her silver and gold.But she gave all my gifts to Baal.
9. “But now I will take back the ripened grain and new wineI generously provided each harvest season.I will take away the wool and linen clothingI gave her to cover her nakedness.
10. I will strip her naked in public,while all her lovers look on.No one will be ableto rescue her from my hands.
