Hosea 2:1-4 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

1. "Say to your brothers, 'You are my people,' and to your sister, 'You have obtained mercy.'

2. Judge your mother, judge: for she is not my wife, and I am not her husband. Let her remove her fornications from before her face and her adulteries from between her breasts.

3. Otherwise, I may expose her nakedness and set her as on the day of her birth, and I may establish her as a wilderness and set her as an impassable land, and I may execute her with thirst.

4. And I will not have mercy on her sons, for they are the sons of fornications.
