Contend with your mother. Contend, for she is not my wife, nor am I her husband. And let her put away her whoredoms from her face, and her adulteries from between her breasts,

And the pride of Israel testifies to his face. Therefore Israel and Ephraim shall stumble in their iniquity. Judah also shall stumble with them.

I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face. In their affliction they will seek me earnestly.

And they do not consider in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness. Now their own doings have surrounded them; they are before my face.

And the pride of Israel testifies to his face. Yet they have not returned to LORD their God, nor sought him for all this.
