Hosea:2:2-5
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 ;
*
Lest I strip her naked ,
and set her as in the day that she was born ,
and make her as a wilderness ,
and set her like a dry land ,
and slay her with thirst .
*
And I will not have mercy upon her children ;
for they be the children of whoredoms .
*
For their mother hath played the harlot :
she that conceived them hath done shamefully :
for she said ,
I will go after my lovers ,
that give me my bread and my water ,
my wool and my flax ,
mine oil and my drink .
