1. So let your brothers be called “My People” and your sisters be called “Shown Mercy”.
2. Accuse! Accuse your mother!She is no longer my wife,and now I, the Lord,am not her husband.Beg her to give up prostitutionand stop being unfaithful,
3. or I will strip her nakedlike the day she was born.I will make her barrenlike a desert,and she will die of thirst.
4. You children are the resultof her unfaithfulness,and I'll show you no pity.
5. Your mother was unfaithful.She was disgraceful and said,“I'll run after my lovers.Everything comes from them—my food and drink,my linen and wool,my olive oil and wine.”
