Hosea 2:2-4

Living Bible

² “Plead with your mother, for she has become another man’s wife—I am no longer her husband. Beg her to stop her harlotry, to quit giving herself to others. ³ If she doesn’t, I will strip her as naked as the day she was born and cause her to waste away and die of thirst as in a land riddled with famine and drought. ⁴ And I will not give special favors to her children as I would to my own, for they are not my children; they belong to other men.
