2:11I will put an end to all her celebration:

her annual religious festivals,

monthly new moon celebrations,

and weekly Sabbath festivities—

all her appointed festivals.

2:12I will destroy her vines and fig trees,

about which she said, “These are my wages for prostitution40

that my lovers gave to me!”

I will turn her cultivated vines and fig trees41 into an uncultivated thicket,

so that wild animals42 will devour them.

I will put an end to her annual festivals,

her new moon celebrations, and her Sabbath days—

I will destroy her grapevines and fig trees,

things she claims her lovers gave her.

I will let them grow into tangled thickets,

where only wild animals will eat the fruit.
