Hosea 2:3-5

New Century Version

³ If she refuses, I will strip her naked
    and leave her bare like the day she was born.
I will make her dry like a desert,
    like a land without water,
    and I will kill her with thirst.
⁴ I will not take pity on her children,
    because they are the children of a prostitute.
⁵ Their mother has acted like a prostitute;
    the one who became pregnant with them has acted disgracefully.
She said, ‘I will chase after my lovers,^[a]
    who give me my food and water,
wool and flax, wine and olive oil.’
