Hosea 2
Say
ye
unto
your
brethren,
a
Ammi;
and
to
your
sisters,
b
Ruhamah.
2 Plead
with
your
a
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
a
strip
her
b
naked,
and
set
her
as
in
the
day
that
she
was
c
born,
and
make
her
as
a
wilderness,
and
set
her
like
a
dry
land,
and
slay
her
with
d
thirst.
4 And
I
will
not
have
mercy
upon
her
children;
for
they
be
the
children
of
whoredoms.
5 For
their
mother
hath
played
the
harlot:
she
that
conceived
them
hath
done
a
shamefully:
for
she
said,
I
will
go
after
my
lovers,
that
give
me
my
b
bread
and
my
water,
my
wool
and
my
flax,
mine
oil
and
my
drink.
6 Therefore,
behold,
I
will
a
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
a
husband;
for
then
was
it
better
with
me
than
now.
8 For
she
did
not
know
that
I
gave
her
a
corn,
and
wine,
and
oil,
and
multiplied
her
silver
and
gold,
which
they
prepared
for
Baal.
9 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
a
lewdness
in
the
sight
of
her
lovers,
and
none
shall
deliver
her
out
of
mine
hand.
11 I
will
also
cause
all
her
a
mirth
to
b
cease,
her
feast
days,
her
new
c
moons,
and
her
d
sabbaths,
and
all
her
e
solemn
feasts.
12 And
I
will
destroy
her
vines
and
her
fig
trees,
whereof
she
hath
said,
These
are
my
rewards
that
my
lovers
have
given
me:
and
I
will
make
them
a
forest,
and
the
beasts
of
the
field
shall
eat
them.
13 And
I
will
visit
upon
her
the
days
of
a
Baalim,
wherein
she
burned
incense
to
them,
and
she
decked
herself
with
her
b
earrings
and
her
jewels,
and
she
went
after
her
lovers,
and
forgat
me,
saith
the
Lord.
14 Therefore,
behold,
I
will
allure
her,
and
bring
her
into
the
a
wilderness,
and
speak
comfortably
unto
her.
15 And
I
will
give
her
her
vineyards
from
thence,
and
the
valley
of
a
Achor
for
a
door
of
hope:
and
she
shall
b
sing
there,
as
in
the
days
of
her
youth,
and
as
in
the
day
when
she
came
up
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt.
16 And
it
shall
be
at
that
a
day,
saith
the
Lord,
that
thou
shalt
call
me
b
Ishi;
and
shalt
call
me
no
more
c
Baali.
17 For
I
will
take
away
the
names
of
a
Baalim
out
of
her
mouth,
and
they
shall
no
more
be
remembered
by
their
name.
18 And
in
that
day
will
I
make
a
a
covenant
for
them
with
the
b
beasts
of
the
field,
and
with
the
fowls
of
heaven,
and
with
the
creeping
things
of
the
ground:
and
I
will
break
the
bow
and
the
sword
and
the
battle
out
of
the
earth,
and
will
make
them
to
lie
down
c
safely.
19 And
I
will
a
betroth
thee
unto
me
for
ever;
yea,
I
will
betroth
thee
unto
me
in
righteousness,
and
in
judgment,
and
in
lovingkindness,
and
in
mercies.
20 I
will
even
betroth
thee
unto
me
in
faithfulness:
and
thou
shalt
a
know
the
Lord.
21 And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
that
day,
I
will
hear,
saith
the
Lord,
I
will
hear
the
heavens,
and
they
shall
hear
the
earth;
22 And
the
earth
shall
hear
the
corn,
and
the
wine,
and
the
oil;
and
they
shall
hear
Jezreel.
23 And
I
will
sow
her
unto
me
in
the
earth;
and
I
will
have
mercy
upon
a
her
that
had
not
obtained
mercy;
and
I
will
say
to
b
them
which
were
not
my
c
people,
Thou
art
my
d
people;
and
they
shall
say,
Thou
art
my
God.
