Contend with your mother, contend; for she is not my wife, neither 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 doth testify 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 consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now have their own doings beset them about; they are before my face.

And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: yet they have not returned unto Jehovah their God, nor sought him, for all this.
