Hosea 2:5-7

New Catholic Bible

⁵ I shall strip her bare,^[a]
    leaving her as naked as the day she was born.
I shall make her as barren as the wilderness
    and as parched as the desert,
    leaving her to die of thirst.
⁶ Nor will I feel any pity for her children,
    since they are the offspring of adultery.
⁷ Yes, their mother has been a whore;
    she who conceived them has acted shamefully.
For she said, “I will go after my lovers;
    they will supply me with my bread and my water,
    my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.”
