She will pursue her lovers but not catch them; she will seek them but not find them. Then she will say, ‘I will return to my first husband, for then I was better off than now.’

Context

5Mama yao amekosa uaminifu na amewachukua mimba katika aibu. Gomeri alisema, ‘Nitawaendea wapenzi wangu, ambao hunipa chakula changu na maji yangu, sufu yangu na kitani yangu, mafuta yangu na kinywaji changu.’ 6Kwa hiyo mimi Mungu nitaizuia njia yake kwa vichaka vya miiba, nitamjengea ukuta ili kwamba asiweze kutoka. 7Gomeri atawafuatia wapenzi wake lakini hatawapata; atawatafuta lakini hatawapata. Kisha atasema, ‘Nitarudi kwa mume wangu kama kwanza, kwa maana nilikuwa na hali njema zaidi kuliko sasa.’ 8Gomeri hajakubali kuwa mimi ndiye niliyempa nafaka, divai mpya na mafuta, niliyemwongezea fedha na dhahabu waliyoitumia kwa kumtumikia Baali. 9“Kwa hiyo nitachukua nafaka yangu wakati itakapokomaa na divai yangu mpya wakati itakapokuwa tayari. Nitamnyangʼanya sufu yangu na kitani yangu iliyokusudiwa kufunika uchi wake.
