Hosea 2:3-5
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
3 or I will strip her naked
and expose her as in the day she was born
and make her like a wilderness
and turn her into a parched land
and kill her with thirst.(A)
4 Upon her children also I will have no pity,
because they are children of prostitution.(B)
5 For their mother has prostituted herself;
she who conceived them has acted shamefully.
For she said, “I will go after my lovers;
they give me my bread and my water,
my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.”(C)
