Hosea 2:1 in context

Hosea 2:1–4

Selected verse

“Say to your brothers, ‘My people!’^†

and to your sisters, ‘My loved one!’^†

Contend with your mother!

Contend, for she is not my wife,

neither am I her husband;

and let her put away her prostitution from her face,

and her adulteries from between her breasts;

lest I strip her naked,

and make her bare as in the day that she was born,

and make her like a wilderness,

and set her like a dry land,

and kill her with thirst.

Indeed, on her children I will have no mercy,

for they are children of unfaithfulness.
