International Children’s Bible

Hosea 2:1-4 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

1. “Your brothers and your sisters will be called ‘my people’ and ‘you have been shown love.’

2. “Plead with your mother.Plead with her because she no longer acts like a wife to me.And I am not treated like her husband.Tell her to stop acting like a prostitute.Tell her to stop behaving like an unfaithful wife.

3. If she refuses, I will strip her naked.I will leave her bare like the day she was born.I will make her dry like a desert.I will make her like a land without water.I will kill her with thirst.

4. I will not take pity on her children.They are the children of an unfaithful wife.
