Hosea 2:4-6
New King James Version
4 “I will not have mercy on her children,
For they are the (A)children of harlotry.
5 For their mother has played the harlot;
She who conceived them has behaved shamefully.
For she said, ‘I will go after my lovers,
(B)Who give me my bread and my water,
My wool and my linen,
My oil and my drink.’
6 “Therefore, behold,
(C)I will hedge up your way with thorns,
And [a]wall her in,
So that she cannot find her paths.
