3. or I will strip her nakedlike the day she was born.I will make her barrenlike a desert,and she will die of thirst.

4. You children are the resultof her unfaithfulness,and I'll show you no pity.

5. Your mother was unfaithful.She was disgraceful and said,“I'll run after my lovers.Everything comes from them—my food and drink,my linen and wool,my olive oil and wine.”

6. I, the Lord, will builda fence of thornsto block her path.
