Hosea 2:1

Hosea 2:1

1 Say to your brethren,¹ ‘My people,’
And to your sisters,¹ ‘Mercy is shown.’

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;

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.

4 “I will not have mercy on her children,
For they are the ^achildren of harlotry.

<< Hosea 1:11

Hosea 2:2 >>

Ye - Who of no people are made a people, who were once unpitied, but now have obtained mercy. Your brethren - To those of the ten tribes, who are your brethren. Ammi - Let them know that yet they are the people of God, they are still within the covenant of their father Abraham, if they will as their father, walk with God, all shall be well.
