Hosea 2:3-6

³lest I strip her naked, and make her bare as in the day that she was born, and make her like a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and kill her with thirst.

⁴Indeed, on her children I will have no mercy, for they are children of unfaithfulness.

⁵For their mother has played the prostitute. She who conceived them has done shamefully; for she said, ‘I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.’

⁶Therefore behold, I will hedge up your way with thorns, and I will build a wall against her, that she can’t find her way.
