"Yet she does ^(C1)not know that it was ^(C2)I myself who gave her the grain, the new wine, and the oil, And lavished on her silver and gold, Which they ^(F1)used for Baal.

-"Therefore, I will ^(F1)(C1)take back My grain at ^(F2)harvest time And My new wine in its season. I will also take away My wool and My flax That I gave to cover her nakedness.

-"So now I will ^(C1)uncover her ^(F1)lewdness Before the eyes of her lovers, And no one will rescue her from My hand.

-"I will also ^(C1)put an end to all her joy, Her ^(C2)feasts, her ^(C3)new moons, her Sabbaths, And all her festivals.

-"And I will ^(C1)destroy her vines and fig trees, Of which she said, 'They are my wages for prostitution Which my lovers have given me.' And I will ^(C2)turn them into a forest, And the ^(C3)animals of the field will devour them.

-"I will punish her for the ^(C1)days of the Baals When she used to ^(F1)(C2)offer sacrifices to them And ^(C3)adorn herself with her nose ring and jewelry, And follow her lovers, so that she ^(C4)forgot Me," declares the LORD.
