*
And she did not know that it was I who gave her the grain ,
the wine ,
and the oil ,
and who lavished upon her silver and gold which they used for Ba '
al .
*
Therefore I will take back my grain in its time ,
and my wine in its season ;
and I will take away my wool and my flax ,
which were to cover her nakedness .
*
Now I will uncover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers ,
and no one shall rescue her out of my hand .
*
And I will put an end to all her mirth ,
her feasts ,
her new moons ,
her sabbaths ,
and all her appointed feasts .
*
And I will lay waste her vines and her fig trees ,
of which she said , `
These are my hire ,
which my lovers have given me .'
I will make them a forest ,
and the beasts of the field shall devour them .
*
And I will punish her for the feast days of the Ba '
als when she burned incense to them and decked herself with her ring and jewelry ,
and went after her lovers ,
and forgot me ,
says the LORD .
