1. “So call your brothers Ammi [My People],and call your sisters Ruhamah [Loved].
2. “Plead with your mother; plead with her.She no longer acts like my wife.She no longer treats me like her husband.Tell her to stop acting like a prostitute.Tell her to remove the lovers from between her breasts.
3. If she refuses, I will strip her.I will leave her as naked as the day she was born.I will turn her into a dry and barren land,and she will die of thirst.
4. I won’t love her children,because they are children of a prostitute.
5. Their mother acted like a prostitute.The woman who became pregnant with them did shameful things.She said, ‘I’ll chase after my lovers.They will give me food and water,wool and linen, olive oil and wine.’
