    So when harvest time comes, I’ll take back My grain,
        and when the grapes ripen, I’ll take back My wine.
    I’ll take away the wool and flax I gave her to make clothes
        so she wouldn’t be naked.

        and this unfaithful wife of Mine will be walking around
    Embarrassingly naked in the sight of her lovers,
        and none of them will be able to rescue her from Me.

    Her pilgrimage festivals, her new moon celebrations, her Sabbath feasts,
        and all her other gatherings.
