וְאָנֹכִ֖י (וְ) ve. “and”וְתָסֵ֤ר (וְ) ve. “and”וְנַאֲפוּפֶ֖יהָ (וְ) ve. “and”

And I will have no mercy on her children, for they are the children of her loose ways.

וְאֶת־ (וְ) ve. “and”

For their mother has been untrue; she who gave them birth has done things of shame, for she said, I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my linen, my oil and my wine.

For this cause I will put thorns in her road, building up a wall round her so that she may not go on her way.

וּנְתִיבוֹתֶ֖יהָ (וּ) u. “and”

And if she goes after her lovers she will not overtake them; if she makes search for them she will not see them; then will she say, I will go back to my first husband, for then it was better for me than now.

So I will take away again my grain in its time and my wine, and I will take away my wool and my linen with which her body might have been covered.

And now I will make her shame clear before the eyes of her lovers, and no one will take her out of my hand.

And I will make waste her vines and her fig-trees, of which she has said, These are the payments which my lovers have made to me; and I will make them a waste of trees, and the beasts of the field will take them for food.

וּתְאֵ֣נָתָ֔הּ (וּ) u. “and”

And I will give her punishment for the days of the Baals, to whom she has been burning perfumes, when she made herself fair with her nose-rings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, giving no thought to me, says the Lord.

וְחֶלְיָתָ֔הּ (וְ) ve. “and”וְאֹתִ֥י (וְ) ve. “and”

וְאֶת־ (וְ) ve. “and”וִּכְי֖וֹם (וִּ) vi “and”

And in that day, says the Lord, you will say to me, Ishi; and you will never again give me the name of Baali;

For I will take away the names of the Baals out of her mouth, and never again will she say their names.

וְלֹֽא־ (וְ) ve. “and”

And in that day I will make an agreement for them with the beasts of the field and the birds of heaven and the things which go low on the earth; I will put an end to the bow and the sword and war in all the land, and will make them take their rest in pea

וְה֖וּא (וְ) ve. “and”

And the Lord said to me, Give your love again to a woman who has a lover and is false to her husband, even as the Lord has love for the children of Israel, though they are turned to other gods and are lovers of grape-cakes.
