1. Say to your brother, “Ammi,” and to your sister, “Ruhamah.”
2. Plead with your mother, plead— because she is not my wife, and I am not her husband. Let her put away her whoring from before her, and her adultery from between her breasts.
3. Lest I strip her naked and expose her like the day when she was born; I will make her like the desert and turn her into parched land; I will kill her with thirst.
4. And I will not have pity on her children, because they are children of whoredom.
