Hosea 2:2-4

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

² Plead with your mother [your nation]; plead, for she is not My wife and I am not her Husband; [plead] that she put away her [marks of] harlotry from her face and her adulteries from between her breasts,^(A)

³ Lest I strip her naked and make her as in the day she was born, and make her as a wilderness and set her like a parched land and slay her with thirst.

⁴ Yes, for her children I will have no love nor pity nor mercy, for they are the children of harlotry.
