However, in the future I will allure her; I will lead her back into the wilderness, and speak tenderly to her.

Therefore they will disappear like the morning mist, like early morning dew that evaporates, like chaff that is blown away from a threshing floor, like smoke that disappears through an open window.

Therefore, I will soon fence her in with thorns; I will wall her in so that she cannot find her way.

Therefore, I will take back my grain during the harvest time and my new wine when it ripens; I will take away my wool and my flax which I had provided in order to clothe her.
