Hoshea 2:4-6

Orthodox Jewish Bible

^4 (2:6) And I will not have mercy upon her banim; for they are the bnei zenunim.

^5 (2:7) For their em hath played the zonah (prostitute); she that conceived them hath done shamefully; for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my lechem and my mayim, my wool and my flax, mine shemen (oil) and my shikkui (drink).

^6 (2:8) Therefore, hinei, I will hedge up thy path with thorns, and wall in her wall, that she shall not find her netivah (way).
