1Say to your brothers, Ammi, and to your sisters, Ruhamah.
Hosea 2:1 2.1Plead with your mother, plead;
2.2for she is not my wife,
2.3nor am I her husband.
2.4Therefore, let her put away her prostitutions out of her sight
2.5and her adulteries from between her breasts,
3.1lest I strip her naked
3.2and leave her bare as in the day that she was born,
3.3and make her as a wilderness
3.4and as a dry land,
3.5and cause her to die with thirst.
4.1I will not have mercy on her sons;
4.2for they are the children of prostitutions.
5.1For their mother has played the prostitute;
5.2she that conceived them has done shamefully;
5.3for she said, I will go after my lovers
5.4who give me my bread and my water,
5.5my clothes and my linen, my oil and everything that I need.
6.1Therefore, I will hedge up her way with thorns,
6.2and fence her paths so that she will not find her paths.
7.1She will follow after her lovers and will not overtake them,
7.2and she will seek them, but will not find them;
7.3then she will say,
7.4I will return and go to my 1st husband;
7.5for it was better with me then than now,
8.1for she did not know that it was I
8.2who gave her wheat and wine and oil,
8.3and multiplied her silver and gold,
8.4some of which they made for the images of Baal.
Hosea 2:2-89.1Therefore, I will return and take away my wheat in its time
9.2and my wine in its season,
9.3and will take away my wool and my linen
9.4which I gave her to cover her nakedness.
10.1Now I will uncover her nakedness
10.2in the presence of her lovers,
10.3and no one will deliver her out of my hands.
11.1I will cause all her mirth to cease,
11.2her feast days, her new months,
11.3her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts.
12.1I will destroy her vines and her fig trees,
12.2of which she said, These are presents which my lovers have given me;
12.3and I will make them a forest,
12.4and the animals of the field will eat them.
13.1I will punish her for the evils of the days of Baal,
13.2in which she burned incense to them
13.3and decked herself with her earrings and her pearls
13.4and went after her lovers
13.5and forgot me, says the Master. Hosea 2:9-13 (Hosea 2:1-13 BRB)
