Hosea 2:2-5 ▼

2 Rebuke your mother; rebuke her. For she is not My wife and I am not her husband. Let her remove the promiscuous look from her face and her adultery from between her breasts.

3 Otherwise, I will strip her naked and expose her as she was on the day of her birth. I will make her like a desert and like a parched land, and I will let her die of thirst.

4 I will have no compassion on her children because they are the children of promiscuity.

5 Yes, their mother is promiscuous; she conceived them and acted shamefully. For she thought, “ I will go after my lovers, the men who give me my food and water, my wool and flax, my oil and drink.”
