⁶ Those who pour out their bags of gold
and weigh out silver on scales –

⁴ He decorates it with silver and gold.^(A)
It is fastened with hammer and nails,^(B)
so it won’t totter.

⁸ She does not recognise^(A)
that it is I who gave her the grain,^(B)
the new wine, and the fresh oil.
I lavished silver and gold on her,
which they used for Baal.
