“Say to your brothers, ‘My people!’[a]

    and to your sisters, ‘My loved one!’[b]
Contend with your mother!
    Contend, for she is not my wife,
    neither am I her husband;
and let her put away her prostitution from her face,
    and her adulteries from between her breasts;
Lest I strip her naked,
    and make her bare as in the day that she was born,
and make her like a wilderness,
    and set her like a dry land,
    and kill her with thirst.
