1 Say to your brethren, ‘My people,’And to your sisters, ‘Mercy is shown.’
2 “Bring charges against your mother, bring charges;For she is not My wife, nor am I her Husband!Let her put away her harlotries from her sight,And her adulteries from between her breasts;
3 Lest I strip her nakedAnd expose her, as in the day she was born,And make her like a wilderness,And set her like a dry land,And slay her with thirst.
4 “I will not have mercy on her children,For they are the children of harlotry.
