No Compassion for Children of Harlotry

[a]Say to your brothers, “[b]Ammi,” and to your sisters, “[c]Ruhamah.”

“Contend with your mother, (A)contend,
For she is (B)not my wife, and I am not her husband;
And let her remove her (C)harlotry from her face
And her adultery from between her breasts,
Lest I strip her (D)naked
And set her forth as on the (E)day when she was born
And (F)make her like a wilderness
And [d]make her like dry land
And put her to death with (G)thirst.
