Hosea 2:2-7

2Plead with your mother, plead; for sheH3588 is notH3588 my wife, neither am I herH3588 husband: and letH7760 herH3588 putH7760 awayH4480 herH3588 whoredoms from herH3588 face, and herH3588 adulteries from betweenH4480 herH3588 breasts;

3lest I strip herH559 naked, and set herH559 as in the day that she was born, and make herH559 as a wilderness, and set herH559 like a dry land, and slay herH559 with thirst;

4YeaH3588, uponH802 herH802 children will I have noH3808 mercy; for they be children of whoredom.

5for their mother hath played the harlot: she that conceived them hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go afterH3117 my lovers, that giveH3205 meH7760 my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink.

6Therefore, beholdH3808, I will hedge upH853 thy way with thorns, and I will makeH3588 a fence against herH3588, that sheH3588 shall notH3808 findH7355 herH3588 paths.

7And sheH3588 shall followH310 afterH310 herH5414 loversH157, but sheH3588 shall notH3588 overtake them; and sheH3588 shall seek them, but shall notH3588 findH5414 them: then shall sheH3588 sayH559, I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with meH5414 thanH3588 nowH3588.
