← Hosea 2:4	Hosea 2:5 (KJV)	Hosea 2:6 →
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.	Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths.
