Hosea 2:3-5

New American Standard Bible 1995

³ Or I will strip her ^(A)naked
And expose her as on the ^(B)day when she was born.
I will also ^(C)make her like a wilderness,
Make her like desert land
And slay her with ^(D)thirst.
⁴ “Also, I will have no compassion on her children,
Because they are ^(E)children of harlotry.
⁵ “For their mother has ^(F)played the harlot;
She who conceived them has acted shamefully.
For she said, ‘^(G)I will go after my lovers,
Who ^(H)give me my bread and my water,
My wool and my flax, my ^(I)oil and my drink.’
