Hosea 2:2

Israel's Adultery Rebuked

¹ Say to your brothers, “Ammi,” and to your sisters, “Ruhamah.” ² “Contend with your mother, contend,
For she is not my wife, and I am not her husband;
And let her put away her harlotry from her face
And her adultery from between her breasts,
³ Or I will strip her naked
And expose her as on the day when she was born.
I will also make her like a wilderness,
Make her like desert land
And slay her with thirst.
