⁸ Therefore see, I will hedge her in with thorns,
and I will build a wall around her
so she cannot find her paths.
⁹ Then she will chase after her lovers,
but she will not overtake them.
She will seek them, but not find.
Then she will say:
‘Let me go and return to my first husband,
for was it better for me then, than now.’
¹⁰ But she did not realize that I Myself
gave her the grain, the wine and the fresh oil.
I lavished on her silver, also gold—
    which they made into Baal.
