Hosea 2:2-5

New American Standard Bible

² “Dispute with your mother, ^(A)dispute,
Because she is ^(B)not my wife, and I am not her husband;
But she must remove her ^(C)infidelity from her face
And her adultery from between her breasts,
³ Otherwise, I will strip her ^(D)naked
And expose her as on the ^(E)day she was born.
I will also ^(F)make her like a wilderness,
Make her like desert land,
And put her to death with ^(G)thirst.
⁴ Also, I will take no pity on her children,
Because they are ^(H)children of infidelity.
⁵ For their mother has ^(I)committed prostitution;
She who conceived them has acted shamefully.
For she said, ‘^(J)I will go after my lovers,
Who ^(K)give me my bread and my water,
My wool and my flax, my ^(L)oil and my drink.’
