Hosea 2:3-6 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

3. Otherwise, I may expose her nakedness and set her as on the day of her birth, and I may establish her as a wilderness and set her as an impassable land, and I may execute her with thirst.

4. And I will not have mercy on her sons, for they are the sons of fornications.

5. For their mother has been fornicating; she who conceived them has been brought to ruin. For she said, 'I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.'

6. Because of this, behold, I will fence in your way with thorns, and I will surround it with a wall, and she will not find her paths.
