Hosea 2:2-4

Evangelical Heritage Version

² Plead with^[a] your mother!
    Plead with her, because she is not my wife,
    and I am not her husband.
    Let her put away her sexual immorality from her presence
    and her acts of adultery from between her breasts.
³ Otherwise, I will strip her naked
    and expose her as she was on the day she was born.
    I will make her like a wilderness.
    I will cause her to be like a dry land.
    I will cause her to die of thirst.
⁴ I will have no compassion on her children,
    because they are children of promiscuity,
