1. Say to your brothers, Ammi, and to your sisters, Ruhamah.
2. Plead with your mother, plead—for she is not My wife,and am I not her husband—that she put away her harlotry from her face,and her adultery from between her breasts,
3. lest I strip her nakedand leave her as in the day that she was born,and turn her into a wilderness,and turn her into a dry land,and kill her with thirst.
4. I will not have mercy upon her children,for they are children of harlotry.
