Hosea 2:2-5

Holman Christian Standard Bible

² Rebuke your mother; rebuke her.^(A)
For she is not My wife and I am not her husband.^(B)
Let her remove the promiscuous look from her face^(C)
and her adultery from between her breasts.
³ Otherwise, I will strip her naked^(D)
and expose her as she was on the day of her birth.
I will make her like a desert^(E)
and like a parched land,
and I will let her die of thirst.^(F)
4 I will have no compassion on her children^(G)
because they are the children of promiscuity.
⁵ Yes, their mother is promiscuous;
she conceived them and acted shamefully.^(H)
For she thought, “I will go after my lovers,^(I)
the men who give me my food and water,
my wool and flax, my oil and drink.”^(J)
