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 adulterous look from her faceand the unfaithfulness from between her breasts.
3 Otherwise I will strip her nakedand make her as bare as on the day she was born;I will make her like a desert,turn her into a parched land,and slay her with thirst.
4 I will not show my love to her children,because they are the children of adultery.
