Hosea 2:3 in context

  1. 1Say ye unto your brethren, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah.
  2. 2Contend with your mother, contend; for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband; and let her put away her whoredoms from her face, and her adulteries from between her breasts;
  3. 3lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and slay her with thirst.
  4. 4Yea, upon her children will I have no mercy; for they are children of whoredom;
  5. 5for their mother hath played the harlot; she that conceived them hath done shamefully; for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink.
