1. Say ye unto your brethren, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah.
2. Contend with your mother, contend: for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband: let her therefore remove her whoredoms from her face and her adulteries from between her breasts;
3. lest I strip her naked and set her as in the day that she was born and make her as a wilderness and set her like a dry land and slay her with thirst.
4. Neither will I have mercy upon her sons, for they are the sons of whoredoms.
