Hosea 2:1

Read in context

Hosea 2:1–3 · Berean Standard Bible

1 “Say of your brothers, ‘My people,’ and of your sisters, ‘My loved one.’

2 Rebuke your mother, rebuke her, for she is not My wife, and I am not her husband. Let her remove the adultery from her face and the unfaithfulness from between her breasts.

3 Otherwise, I will strip her naked and expose her like the day of her birth. I will make her like a desert and turn her into a parched land, and I will let her die of thirst.
