Hosea 2:1-3

New King James Version

2 Say to your brethren, ^[a]‘My people,’
And to your sisters, ^[b]‘Mercy is shown.’

² “Bring^[c] charges against your mother, ^[d]bring charges;
For ^(A)she is not My wife, nor am I her Husband!
Let her put away her ^(B)harlotries from her sight,
And her adulteries from between her breasts;
³ Lest ^(C)I strip her naked
And expose her, as in the day she was ^(D)born,
And make her like a wilderness,
And set her like a dry land,
And slay her with ^(E)thirst.
