5 For their mother has been a prostitute; she who conceived them has acted shamefully, for she said, ‘I will go after my lovers, those giving me my bread and my water, my wool and my linen, my oil and my drink.’

6 Therefore, behold, I am hedging up your path with thorns; and I will wall her up with a wall, so her paths she cannot find.

7 And she will pursue her lovers, and she will not overtake them; she will seek them, and she will not find them. She will say, ‘I will go and return to my first husband, for it was better for me then than now!’
