Hosea 2:2-4

Lexham English Bible

² Plead with your mother, plead—
    because she is not my wife,
        and I am not her husband.
Let her put away her whoring from before her,^[a]
    and her adultery from between her breasts.
³ Lest I strip her naked
    and expose her like the day when she was born;
I will make her like the desert
    and turn her into parched land;
        I will kill her with thirst.
⁴ And I will not have pity on her children,
    because they are children of whoredom.
