Hosea 2:4 Context
2Plead with your mother, plead: for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband: let her therefore put away her whordomes out of her sight, and her adulteries from betweene her breasts; 3Lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that shee was borne, and make her as a wildernesse, and set her like a drie land, and slay her with thirst. 4And I will not haue mercy vpon her children, for they be the children of whordomes. 5For their mother hath played the harlot: shee that conceiued them hath done shamefully: for shee sayd, I will goe after my louers, that giue me my bread and my water, my wooll and my flaxe, mine oyle, and my drinke. 6¶ Therefore behold, I will hedge vp thy way with thornes, and make a wall, that she shall not find her pathes.
