Hosea 2:2-7
2“DisputeH7378 with your motherH517, 1disputeH7378, BecauseH3588 she is 2not my wifeH802, and I am not her husbandH376; But she must removeH5493 her 3infidelityH2183 from her faceH6440 And her adulteryH5005 from betweenH996 her breastsH7699,3OtherwiseH6435, I will stripH6584 her 4nakedH6174 And exposeH3322 her as on the 5dayH3117 she was bornH3205. I will also 6makeH7760 her like a wildernessH4057, MakeH7896 her like desertH6723 landH776, And putH4191 her toH4191 deathH4191 with 7thirstH6772.4Also, I will takeH7355 noH3808 pityH7355 onH7355 her childrenH1121, BecauseH3588 they are 8childrenH1121 of infidelityH2183.5For their motherH517 has 9committedH2181 prostitutionH2181; She who conceivedH2029 them has actedH954 shamefullyH954. For she saidH559, ‘10I will goH1980 afterH310 my loversH157, Who 11giveH5414 me my breadH3899 and my waterH4325, My woolH6785 and my flaxH6593, my 12oilH8081 and my drinkH8250.’6ThereforeH3651, beholdH2009, I will 13obstructH7753 14her wayH1870 with 15thornsH5518, And I will buildH1443 16a stoneH1447 wallH1447 against her so that she cannotH3808 findH4672 her 17pathsH5410.7And she will 18pursueH7291 her loversH157, but she will not reachH5381 them; And she will seekH1245 them, but will not findH4672 them. Then she will sayH559, ‘19I will goH1980 backH7725 to my 20firstH7223 husbandH376, BecauseH3588 it was 21betterH2896 for me thenH227 thanH4480 nowH6258!’
