Idolatrous Israel Will Be Punished Like a Prostitute
2:2 Plead earnestly with your mother (for she is not my wife , and I am not her husband ), so that she might put an end to her adulterous lifestyle , and turn away from her sexually immoral behavior .
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 her with thirst .
