New Testament

Hosea 2:1-4 New English Translation (NET)

1. Then you will call your brother, “My People” (Ammi)! You will call your sister, “Pity” (Ruhamah)!

2. Plead earnestly with your mother (for she is not my wife, and I am not her husband), so that she might put an end to her adulterous lifestyle, and turn away from her sexually immoral behavior.

3. Otherwise, I will strip her naked,and expose her like she was when she was born. I will turn her land into a wilderness and make her country a parched land, so that I might kill her with thirst.

4. I will have no pity on her children, because they are children conceived in adultery.
