Plead with your mother, plead-- because she [is] not my wife, and I [am] not her husband. Let her put away her whoring {from before her}, and her adultery from between her breasts.

And now I will uncover her nakedness before the eyes of her lovers, and no one will rescue her from my hand.

{But they did not consider} that I remember all their wickedness. Now their deeds surround them; they are before my face.

Even though they bring up their children, I will bereave them before maturity. Woe to them indeed, when I depart from them!
