New Testament

Hosea 2:1-8 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

1. “Yet the number of Bnei-Yisrael will be like the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured or counted. Instead of ‘You are not My people’ being said to them, they will be called ‘Children of the living God.’

2. Then the descendants of Judah and descendants of Israel will be gathered together. They will appoint themselves one head And they will go up from the land. For the day of Jezreel will be great.

3. Say you to your brothers, ‘Ammi’ and to your sisters, ‘Ruhamah’.

4. Contend with your mother, contend! For she is not My wife nor I her husband. Let her put away her fornications from her face and her adulteries from between her breasts.

5. Or else I will strip her naked and expose her as on the day she was born. Then I will make her like a wilderness. Yes, I will make her like desert land, and I will let her die of thirst.

6. I will have no compassion for her children, for they are children of prostitution.

7. For their mother has practiced prostitution. She who conceived them has been shameful. For she said, ‘Let me go after my lovers, who are giving me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.’

8. Therefore see, I will hedge her in with thorns, and I will build a wall around her so she cannot find her paths.
