MKJV(i)
6 Therefore behold, I will hedge your way with thorns, and wall up her wall, that she shall not find her paths.
7 And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them. She shall seek them, but shall not find them. Then she shall say, I will go and return to my first husband, for then it was better with me than now.
8 For she did not know that I gave her grain, and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold, which they prepared for Baal.
9 So I will return and take away My grain in its time, and my wine in its season, and will recover my wool and my flax given to cover her nakedness.
10 And now I will uncover her shamefulness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of my hand.
11 I will also cause all her joy to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her appointed feasts.
12 And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, of which she has said, They are my rewards that my lovers have given me. And I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them.
13 And I will visit on her the days of the Baals, in which she burned incense to them, and she adorned herself with her nose-rings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers and forgot Me, says Jehovah.
14 Therefore, behold, I will lure her and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably to her.
15 And I will give her vineyards to her from there, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope. And she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
16 And it shall be at that day, says Jehovah, you shall call Me, My Husband, and shall no more call Me, My Baal.
17 For I will take away the names of the Baals out of her mouth, and they will no more be remembered by their name.
