10. So I will show her nakedness to her lovers,and no one will save her from me.
11. I will put an end to all her celebrations:her yearly festivals, her New Moon festivals, and her Sabbaths.I will stop all of her special feasts.
12. I will destroy her vines and fig trees,which she said were her pay from her lovers.I will turn them into a forest,and wild animals will eat them.
13. I will punish her for all the timesshe burned incense to the Baals.She put on her rings and jewelryand went chasing after her lovers,but she forgot me!”says the Lord.
14. “So I am going to attract her;I will lead her into the desertand speak tenderly to her.
15. There I will give her back her vineyards,and I will make the Valley of Trouble a door of hope.There she will respond as when she was young,as when she came out of Egypt.”
16. The Lord says, “In the future she will call me ‘my husband;’no longer will she call me ‘my baal.’
17. I will never let her say the names of Baal again;people won’t use their names anymore.
