Hosea 2:3-5
Amplified Bible
3
Or I will strip her naked
And expose her as on the day she was born,
And make her like a wilderness
And make her like a parched land
And slay her with thirst.
4
“Also, I will have no mercy on her children,
Because they are the children of prostitution.
5
“For their mother has played the prostitute;
She who conceived them has acted shamefully,
For she said, ‘I will pursue my lovers
Who give me my food and my water,
My wool and my flax, my oil and my [refreshing] drinks.’
Hosea 2:3-5
New International Version
3 Otherwise I will strip(A) her naked
and make her as bare as on the day she was born;(B)
I will make her like a desert,(C)
turn her into a parched land,
and slay her with thirst.
4 I will not show my love to her children,(D)
because they are the children of adultery.(E)
5 Their mother has been unfaithful
and has conceived them in disgrace.
She said, ‘I will go after my lovers,(F)
who give me my food and my water,
my wool and my linen, my olive oil and my drink.’(G)
