1 SAY to your brethren, Ammi, my people; and to your sisters, Rekhimtha, beloved. 2 Plead with your mother, plead; for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband; let her therefore put away her whoredoms out of her sight and her adulteries from between her breasts, 3 Lest I strip her naked and leave her bare as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness and as a dry land, and cause her to die with thirst. 4 And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they are the children of whoredoms. 5 For their mother has played the harlot; she that conceived them has done shamefully; for she said, I will go after my lovers who give me my bread and my water, my clothes and my linen, my oil and everything that I need. Hosea 2:1-5, Lamsa Bible. Public domain.
