1 Say to your brother, My People, and to your sister, Compassion:
2 Level a charge against your mother; plead with her!She is not my wife,and I am not her husband.Let her remove prostitution from her presence,and adultery from between her breasts,
3 or else I will strip her nakedand expose her as on the day she was born.I will make her like a desert,and turn her into a dry land,and make her die of thirst.
4 I will also have no compassion on her childrenbecause they are children of prostitution.
5 Their mother has played the prostitute;she who conceived them has behaved shamefully.She said, "I will seek out my lovers;they give me my bread and my water,my wool and my linen cloth, my oil and my drink."
