← Hosea 2:3	Hosea 2:4 (KJV)	Hosea 2:5 →
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.	And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they [be] the children of whoredoms.	For their mother hath played the harlot: she that conceived them hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give [me] my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink.
