• Hosea 1
• Hosea 2
• Hosea 3

2 “Plead with your mother, plead—

for zshe is not my wife,

and I am not her husband—

that she put away aher whoring from her face,

and her adultery from between her breasts;

3 lest bI strip her naked

and make her as cin the day she was born,

and dmake her like a wilderness,

and make her like a parched land,

and kill her with thirst.

4 eUpon her children also I will have no mercy,

fbecause they are children of whoredom.
