    before the eyes of her lovers,
        and no one will rescue her from my hand.
11 And I will put an end to all her mirth,
    her festivals,[a] her new moons,[b] and her Sabbaths,[c]
        and all her appointed festivals;[d]
12 and I will lay waste to her vines[e] and her fig trees,[f]

        “They are my payment for prostitution,
    which my lovers gave to me.”
I will make them a forest,
    and the wild animals[g] of the field will devour them.
