“You are to call your brothers, ‘my people,’ and your sisters, ‘you have been shown pity.’

God Speaks About Israel

“Plead with your mother.[a]
    Accuse her, because she is no longer my wife,
    and I am no longer her husband.
Tell her to stop acting like a prostitute,
    to stop behaving like an unfaithful wife.
If she refuses, I will strip her naked
    and leave her bare like the day she was born.
I will make her dry like a desert,
    like a land without water,
    and I will kill her with thirst.
