Hosea 2:1–3

CallF your brothers: My People

and your sisters: Compassion.

ISRAEL’S ADULTERY REBUKED

2 Rebuke your mother; rebuke her.v

For she is not my wife and I am not her husband.w

Let her remove the promiscuous look from her facex

and her adultery from between her breasts.

3 Otherwise, I will strip her nakedy

and expose her as she was on the day of her birth.

I will make her like a desertz

and like a parched land,

and I will let her die of thirst.aa
