Hosea 2:2-5

2ContendH7378 with your motherH517, contendH7378: for she is not my wifeH802, neither am I her husbandH376: let her therefore put awayH5493 her harlotryH2183 out of her sightH6440, and her adulteriesH5005 from between her breastsH7699; 3Lest I stripH6584 her nakedH6174, and setH3322 her as in the dayH3117 that she was bornH3205, and makeH7760 her as a wildernessH4057, and setH7896 her like a dryH6723 landH776, and killH4191 her with thirstH6772. 4And I will not have mercyH7355 upon her childrenH1121; for they are the childrenH1121 of harlotryH2183. 5For their motherH517 hath played the harlotH2181: she that conceivedH2029 them hath done shamefullyH3001: for she saidH559, I will goH3212 afterH310 my loversH157, that giveH5414 me my breadH3899 and my waterH4325, my woolH6785 and my flaxH6593, my oilH8081 and my drinkH8250.1
