2:2 Plead earnestly 1 with your 2 mother
(for 3 she is not my wife, and I am not her husband),
so that 4 she might put an end to her adulterous lifestyle, 5
and turn away from her sexually immoral behavior. 6
2:3 Otherwise, I will strip her naked,
and expose her like she was when she was born.
I will turn her land into a wilderness
and make her country a parched land,
so that I might kill 7 her with thirst.
2:4 I will have no pity on her children, 8
because they are children conceived in adultery. 9
2:5 For their mother has committed adultery;
she who conceived them has acted shamefully.
For she said, “I will seek out 10 my lovers; 11
they are the ones who give me my bread and my water,
my wool, my flax, my olive oil, and my wine. 12
