Hosea 2:3
Strip her - As was usually done by incensed husbands, divorcing impudent adulteresses. As a wilderness - Barren and desolate.
God’s Unfaithful People
2 “Bring1 charges against your mother,2 bring charges;
For ashe is not My wife, nor am I her Husband!
Let her put away her bharlotries from her sight,
And her adulteries from between her breasts;
For ashe is not My wife, nor am I her Husband!
Let her put away her bharlotries from her sight,
And her adulteries from between her breasts;
3 Lest aI strip her naked
And expose her, as in the day she was bborn,
And make her like a wilderness,
And set her like a dry land,
And slay her with cthirst.
And expose her, as in the day she was bborn,
And make her like a wilderness,
And set her like a dry land,
And slay her with cthirst.
5 For their mother has played the harlot;
She who conceived them has behaved shamefully.
For she said, ‘I will go after my lovers,
aWho give me my bread and my water,
My wool and my linen,
My oil and my drink.’
She who conceived them has behaved shamefully.

6 “Therefore, behold,
aI will hedge up your way with thorns,
And1 wall her in,
So that she cannot find her paths.
aI will hedge up your way with thorns,
And1 wall her in,
So that she cannot find her paths.
