“ For this reason I will fence her in with thornbushes. I will block her path with a wall to make her lose her way.When she runs after her lovers, she won’t be able to catch them. She will search for them but 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.’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.“ But now I will take back the ripened grain and new wine I generously provided each harvest season. I will take away the wool and linen clothing I gave her to cover her nakedness.I will strip her naked in public, while all her lovers look on. No one will be able to rescue her from my hands.I will put an end to her annual festivals, her new moon celebrations, and her Sabbath days— all her appointed festivals.I will destroy her grapevines and fig trees, things she claims her lovers gave her. I will let them grow into tangled thickets, where only wild animals will eat the fruit.I will punish her for all those times when she burned incense to her images of Baal, when she put on her earrings and jewels and went out to look for her lovers but forgot all about me,” says the Lord.“ But then I will win her back once again. I will lead her into the desert and speak tenderly to her there.I will return her vineyards to her and transform the Valley of Trouble into a gateway of hope. She will give herself to me there, as she did long ago when she was young, when I freed her from her captivity in Egypt.When that day comes,” says the Lord,“ you will call me‘ my husband’ instead of‘ my master.’O Israel, I will wipe the many names of Baal from your lips, and you will never mention them again.
