1 “You are to call your brothers, ‘my people,’ and your sisters, ‘you have been shown pity.’
2 “Plead with your mother.Accuse her, because she is no longer my wife,and I am no longer her husband.Tell her to stop acting like a prostitute,to stop behaving like an unfaithful wife.
3 If she refuses, I will strip her nakedand leave her bare like the day she was born.I will make her dry like a desert,like a land without water,and I will kill her with thirst.
4 I will not take pity on her children,because they are the children of a prostitute.
5 Their mother has acted like a prostitute;the one who became pregnant with them has acted disgracefully.She said, ‘I will chase after my lovers,who give me my food and water,wool and flax, wine and olive oil.’
