2
Plead with your mother, plead: for she is not my wife, and I am not her husband: and I will remove her fornication out of my presence, and her adultery from between her breasts:
3
that I may strip her naked, and make her again as she was at the day of her birth: and I will make her desolate, and make her as a dry land, and will kill her with thirst.
4
And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they are children of fornication.
5
And their mother went a-whoring: she that bore them disgraced : for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, and my garments, and my linen clothes, my oil and my necessaries.
6
Therefore, behold, I hedge up her way with thorns, and I will stop the ways, and she shall not find her path.
