Hosea 2:2-4
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
Israel’s Infidelity, Punishment, and Redemption
2 Plead with your mother, plead—
for she is not my wife,
and I am not her husband—
that she put away her whoring from her face,
and her adultery from between her breasts,
3 or I will strip her naked
and expose her as in the day she was born,
and make her like a wilderness,
and turn her into a parched land,
and kill her with thirst.
4 Upon her children also I will have no pity,
because they are children of whoredom.
Hosea 2:2-4
New International Version
Israel Punished and Restored
2 “Rebuke your mother,(A) rebuke her,
for she is not my wife,
and I am not her husband.
Let her remove the adulterous(B) look from her face
and the unfaithfulness from between her breasts.
3 Otherwise I will strip(C) her naked
and make her as bare as on the day she was born;(D)
I will make her like a desert,(E)
turn her into a parched land,
and slay her with thirst.
4 I will not show my love to her children,(F)
because they are the children of adultery.(G)
