For she did not know that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold, which they prepared for Baal.

Verse 8 is found in chapter 2 of Hosea. God announces that he will temporarily withdraw the agricultural products and celebrations that Israel had turned into occasions of false worship. Nakedness and shame symbolize the exposure of the unfaithfulness that had remained hidden beneath religious and economic prosperity. The language of "days of the Baals" identifies the problem as a deliberate breach of faithfulness to the Lord.

Darum siehe, ich will deinen Weg mit Dornen vermachen und eine Wand davorziehen, daß sie ihren Steig nicht finden soll;
Y ella no reconoció que yo le daba el trigo, y el vino, y el aceite, y que les multipliqué la plata y el oro con que hicieron a Baal.
Elle n'a pas reconnu que c'était moi qui lui donnais le blé, le moût et l'huile; et l'on a consacré au service de Baal l'argent et l'or que je lui prodiguais.
Or ella non ha riconosciuto che io le avea dato il frumento, e il mosto, e l’olio, e che io le avea accresciuto l’argento, e l’oro, il quale essi hanno impiegato intorno a Baal.

她不知道是我給她五穀、新酒和新的油, 又加添她的金銀; 他們卻用來供奉 巴力 。
