3. [2:5] Lest I strip her naked, and set her as bare as the day she was born, and make her as a midbar, and turn her like an eretz tziyyah (parched land), and kill her with tzamah (thirst).
4. [2:6] And I will not have mercy upon her banim; for they are the bnei zenunim.
5. [2:7] For their em hath played the zonah (prostitute); she that conceived them hath done shamefully; for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my lechem and my mayim, my wool and my flax, mine shemen (oil) and my shikkui (drink).
6. [2:8] Therefore, hinei, I will hedge up thy path with thorns, and wall in her wall, that she shall not find her netivah (way).
7. [2:9] And she shall chase after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them; then shall she say, I will go and return to my ish harishon (first husband); for then was it better with me than now.
8. [2:10] For she did not have da'as that I gave her dagan (grain), and tirosh (new wine), and yitzhar (oil), and multiplied her kesef and zahav, which they prepared for Ba'al.
9. [2:11] Therefore will I return, and take away My dagan in the season thereof, and My tirosh in the season thereof, and will take back My wool and My flax given to cover her nakedness.
10. [2:12] And now will I expose her navlut (lewdness) in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of Mine hand.
11. [2:13] I will also cause all her masos (exultation, joy) to cease, her Chag (feast), her Chodesh (New Moons), and her Shabbatot, and all her Mo'adim (appointed feasts).
