I'll destroy her vines and her fig trees, about which she said, "These are the earnings that my lovers paid me. I'll make them grow into a forest, and the wild animals will eat from them.'

So I paid fifteen shekels of silver and about seven bushels of barley to purchase her.

When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah his disease: Ephraim went unto Assyria, and sent unto king Jareb: yet could not he help you, nor ease you of your pain.

For they have gone up to Assyria
like a wild donkey going off on its own.
Ephraim has paid for love.
