Hosea 2:2-4

New International Reader's Version

² “Tell your mother she is wrong.
    Tell her she is wrong.
She isn’t acting like a wife to me anymore.
    She no longer treats me as her husband.
Tell her to stop looking and acting like a prostitute.
    Tell her not to let her lovers
    lie on her breasts anymore.
³ If she doesn’t stop it, I will strip her naked.
    I’ll make her as bare as she was on the day she was born.
I’ll make her like a desert.
    She will become like dry land.
    And I’ll let her die of thirst.
