New Century Version

Hosea 2:2-4 New Century Version (NCV)

2. “Plead with your mother.Accuse her, because she is no longer my wife,and I am no longer her husband.Tell her to stop acting like a prostitute,to stop behaving like an unfaithful wife.

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

4. I will not take pity on her children,because they are the children of a prostitute.
