2 Rebuke your mother; rebuke her.
|
||||
For she is not my wife and I am not her husband.
|
||||
Let her remove the promiscuous look from her face

and her adultery from between her breasts.

3 Otherwise, I will strip her naked
|
||||
and expose her as she was on the day of her birth.
|
||||
I will make her like a desert
|
||||
and like a parched land,
|
||||
and I will let her die of thirst.
|
||||
|
||||

5 Yes, their mother is promiscuous;
|
||||
she conceived them and acted shamefully.

|
||||
For she thought, “I will follow my lovers,
|
||||
the men who give me my food and water,
|
||||
my wool and flax, my oil and drink."
|
||||
|
||||
6. Therefore, this is what I will do:
|
||||
my wool and flax, my oil and drink.”
|
||||
6 Therefore, this is what I will do:
|
||||
I will block her way with thorns;
|
||||
I will enclose her with a wall,
|
||||
so that she cannot find her paths.
|
||||
|
||||
7. She will pursue her lovers but not catch them;
|
||||
she will look for them
|
||||
but not find them.
|
||||
|
||||
7 She will pursue her lovers but not catch them;
|
||||
she will look for them but not find them.
|
||||
Then she will think,
|
||||
"I will go back to my former husband,
|
||||
for then it was better for me than now."
|
||||
|
||||
8. She does not recognize
|
||||
“I will go back to my former husband,
|
||||
for then it was better for me than now.”
|
||||
8 She does not recognize
|
||||
that it is I who gave her the grain,
|
||||
the new wine, and the fresh oil.
|
||||
I lavished silver and gold on her,
|
||||
which they used for Baal.
|
||||
|
||||
9. Therefore, I will take back my grain in its time

||||
9 Therefore, I will take back my grain in its time
|
||||
and my new wine in its season;
|

||||
which were to cover her nakedness.
|
||||
|
||||
10. Now I will expose her shame
|
||||
10 Now I will expose her shame
|
||||
in the sight of her lovers,
|
||||
and no one will rescue her from my power.
|
||||
|
||||
11. I will put an end to all her celebrations:
|
||||
her feasts, New Moons, and Sabbaths--

She thinks that these are her wages
|
||||
that her lovers have given her.
|
||||
I will turn them into a thicket,
|
||||
and the wild animals will eat them.
|
||||
|

|
||||
to which she burned incense.

but she forgot me.

|
||||
into a gateway of hope.
|
||||
|

|
||||
in the days of her youth,
|
||||
as in the day she came out of the land of Egypt.
