3lest peradventure I spoil her naked, and set her naked by the day of her nativity or of her birth. And I shall set or put her as a wilderness, and I shall ordain her as a land without a way, and I shall slay her in thirst.
4And I shall not have mercy on the sons of her, for they be the sons of fornications;
5for the mother of them did forni-cation, she is shamed that conceived them, for she said, I shall go after my lovers, that give my loaves to me, and my waters, and my wool, and my flax, and mine oil, and my drink.
6For this thing, lo! I shall hedge thy way with thorns, and I shall hedge it with a wall, and she shall not find her paths.
