Charges against an Unfaithful Wife

“But now bring charges against Israel—your mother—
    for she is no longer my wife,
    and I am no longer her husband.
Tell her to remove the prostitute’s makeup from her face
    and the clothing that exposes her breasts.
Otherwise, I will strip her as naked
    as she was on the day she was born.
I will leave her to die of thirst,
    as in a dry and barren wilderness.
And I will not love her children,
    for they were conceived in prostitution.
Their mother is a shameless prostitute
    and became pregnant in a shameful way.
She said, ‘I’ll run after other lovers
    and sell myself to them for food and water,
for clothing of wool and linen,
    and for olive oil and drinks.’

Gomer is Rebuked

“Call your mother to account, call her—
    for she is not my wife,
        and I’m not her husband.
Let her do away with her seductive looks
    and remove her adultery from between her breasts.
Otherwise, I’ll strip her naked—
    as she was on the day she was born—
make her like a wilderness,
    turn her into a parched land,
        and cause her to die of thirst.
Furthermore, I’ll not show pity on her children,
    since they are children of prostitution.
Indeed, their mother has committed prostitution—
    the one who has been conceiving them has acted disgracefully—
when she said,
    ‘I’m going after my lovers,
        who provide me food and water,
    as well as my wool, my flax,
        my oil, and my wine.’
