⁷ She shall pursue her lovers
    but not overtake them,
and she shall seek them
    but shall not find them.
^(A)Then she shall say,
    ‘I will go and return to ^(B)my first husband,
    ^(C)for it was better for me then than now.’

^14 (A)Return, O faithless children,
declares the Lord;
    ^(B)for I am your master;
I will take you, one from a city and two from a family,
    and I will bring you to Zion.
