1
Say ye unto your brethren, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah.
2
Plead with your mother, plead: for she [is] not my wife, neither [am] I her husband: let her therefore put away her whoredoms out of her sight, and her adulteries from between her breasts;
3
Lest 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
And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they [be] the children of whoredoms.

6
Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths.
7
And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find [them]: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then [was it] better with me than now.
8
For she did not know that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold, [which] they prepared for Baal.

Therefore will I return, and take away my corn in the time thereof, and my wine in the season thereof, and will recover my wool and my flax [given] to cover her nakedness.
10
And now will I discover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of mine hand.
