Israel’s Unfaithfulness Condemned

⁵“For their mother has committed prostitution; She who conceived them has acted shamefully. For she said, ‘I will go after my lovers, Who give me my bread and my water, My wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.’

⁶“Therefore, behold, I will obstruct her way with thorns, And I will build a stone wall against her so that she cannot find her paths.

⁷“And she will pursue her lovers, but she will not reach them; And she will seek them, but will not find them. Then she will say, ‘I will go back to my first husband, Because it was better for me then than now!’
