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)
5 Their mother has been unfaithful
    and has conceived them in disgrace.
She said, ‘I will go after my lovers,^(H)
    who give me my food and my water,
    my wool and my linen, my olive oil and my drink.’^(I)

9 Do not rejoice, Israel;
    do not be jubilant^(A) like the other nations.
For you have been unfaithful^(B) to your God;
    you love the wages of a prostitute^(C)
    at every threshing floor.
