Hosea 2:1: Say ye unto your brethren, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ru-hamah. Hosea 2:2: Plead with your mother, plead: for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband: let her therefore put away her who*edoms out of her sight, and her adulteries from between her breasts; Hosea 2:3: Lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and slay her with thirst. Hosea 2:4: And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they be the children of who*edoms. Hosea 2:5: For their mother hath played the harlot: she that conceived them hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink.

Hosea 2:7: And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now. Hosea 2:8: For she did not know that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold, which they prepared for Baal.

Hosea 2:10: And now will I discover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of mine hand.

Hosea 2:15: And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt. Hosea 2:16: And it shall be at that day, saith the LORD, that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali.
