Hosea 2:3-6 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

3. If she refuses to stop her adultery, I will strip her naked and leave her like the day she was born. I will take away her people, and she will be like an empty, dry desert. I will kill her with thirst.

4. I will have no pity on her children because they are the children of prostitution.

5. Their mother has acted like a prostitute. She should be ashamed of what she did. She said, ‘I will go to my lovers, who give me food and water, wool and linen, wine and olive oil.’

6. “So I, the Lord, will block Israel’s road with thorns, and I will build a wall. Then she will not be able to find her path.
