Hosea 2:1-5

2:1

Say
<0559> (8798)

ye unto your brethren
<0251>_,

Ammi
<05971>_;

and to your sisters
<0269>_,

Ruhamah
<07355> (8795)_.

{Ammi: that is, My people} {Ruhamah: that is, Having obtained mercy}

2:2

Plead
<07378> (8798)

with your mother
<0517>_,

plead
<07378> (8798)_:

for she [is] not my wife
<0802>_,

neither [am] I her husband
<0376>_:

let her therefore put away
<05493> (8686)

her whoredoms
<02183>

out of her sight
<06440>_,

and her adulteries
<05005>

from between her breasts
<07699>_;

2:3

Lest I strip
<06584> (8686)

her naked
<06174>_,

and set
<03322> (8689)

her as in the day
<03117>

that she was born
<03205> (8736)_,

and make
<07760> (8804)

her as a wilderness
<04057>_,

and set
<07896> (8804)

her like a dry
<06723>

land
<0776>_,

and slay
<04191> (8689)

her with thirst
<06772>_.

2:4

And I will not have mercy
<07355> (8762)

upon her children
<01121>_;

for they [be] the children
<01121>

of whoredoms
<02183>_.

2:5

For their mother
<0517>

hath played the harlot
<02181> (8804)_:

she that conceived
<02029> (8802)

them hath done shamefully
<03001> (8689)_:

for she said
<0559> (8804)_,

I will go
<03212> (8799)

after
<0310>

my lovers
<0157> (8764)_,

that give
<05414> (8802)

[me] my bread
<03899>

and my water
<04325>_,

my wool
<06785>

and my flax
<06593>_,

mine oil
<08081>

and my drink
<08250>_.

{drink: Heb. drinks}
