Hosea 2:3 in Context — Hosea 2
1 DECID á vuestros hermanos, Ammi, y á vuestras hermanas, Ruhama:
2 Pleitead con vuestra madre, pleitead; porque ella no es mi mujer, ni yo su marido; quite pues sus fornicaciones de su rostro, y sus adulterios de entre sus pechos;
3 No sea que yo la despoje desnuda, y la haga tornar como el día en que nació, y la ponga como un desierto, y la deje como tierra seca, y la mate de sed.
4 Ni tendré misericordia de sus hijos: porque son hijos de fornicaciones.
5 Porque su madre fornicó; la que los engendró fué avergonzada; porque dijo: Iré tras mis amantes, que me dan mi pan y mi agua, mi lana y mi lino, mi aceite y mi bebida.
