Hosea 2:1-3
New International Version - UK
2 [a]‘Say of your brothers, “My people”, and of your sisters, “My loved one”.
Israel punished and restored
2 ‘Rebuke your mother, rebuke her,
for she is not my wife,
and I am not her husband.
Let her remove the adulterous look from her face
and the unfaithfulness from between her breasts.
3 Otherwise I will strip her naked
and make her as bare as on the day she was born;
I will make her like a desert,
turn her into a parched land,
and slay her with thirst.
