1. The number of the Israeliteswill be like the sand of the sea,which can be neither measured nor counted.Instead of being told,“You are Not-My-People,”They will be called,“Children of the living God.”
2. Then the people of Judah and of Israelwill gather together;They will appoint for themselves one headand rise up from the land;great indeed shall be the day of Jezreel!
3. Say to your brothers, “My People,”and to your sisters, “Pitied.”
4. Accuse your mother, accuse!for she is not my wife,and I am not her husband.Let her remove her prostitution from her face.her adultery from between her breasts,
5. Or I will strip her naked,leaving her as on the day of her birth;I will make her like the wilderness,make her like an arid land,and let her die of thirst.
