Hosea:2:1-5
rsv@Hosea:2:1 @ Say to your brother, "My people," and to your sister, "She has obtained pity."
rsv@Hosea:2:2 @ "Plead with your mother, plead-- for she is not my wife, and I am not her husband--that she put away her harlotry from her face, and her adultery from between her breasts;
rsv@Hosea:2:3 @ lest I strip her naked and make her as in the day she was born, and make her like a wilderness, and set her like a parched land, and slay her with thirst.
rsv@Hosea:2:4 @ Upon her children also I will have no pity, because they are children of harlotry.
rsv@Hosea:2:5 @ For their mother has played the harlot; she that conceived them has acted shamefully. For she said, `I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.'
