II] :She that conceived them hath done shamefully:
 * For she said, I will go after my lovers,
 * That give me my bread and my water,
 * My wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink.
 * Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns,
 * And make a wall, that she shall not find her paths.
 * And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them;
 * And she shall seek them, but shall not find them:
 * Then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband;
 * For then was it better with me than now.
 * For she did not know that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil,
 * And multiplied her silver and gold,
 * Which they prepared for Baal.
 * Therefore will I return, and take away my corn in the time thereof,
 * And my wine in the season thereof,
 * And will recover my wool and my flax given to cover her nakedness.
 * And now will I discover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers,
 * And none shall deliver her out of mine hand.
 * I will also cause all her mirth to cease,
 * Her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts.
