Yahweh is speaking to Hosea about what he will do to Israel.

Alternate translation: "that these were the wages that her lovers had given to her" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-quotations]])
# make them a forest
Yahweh will destroy the vineyards and fruit trees by allowing other trees and weeds to grow among them. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
