  • Hosea 2:2-5
    'Bring charges against your mother, bring charges;
    For she is not My wife, nor am I her Husband!
    Let her put away her harlotries from her sight,
    And her adulteries from between her breasts;
    Lest I strip her naked
    And expose her, as in the day she was born,
    And make her like a wilderness,
    And set her like a dry land,
    And slay her with thirst.
    ' I will not have mercy on her children,
    For they are the children of harlotry.
    For their mother has played the harlot;
    She who conceived them has behaved shamefully.
    For she said, 'I will go after my lovers,
    Who give me my bread and my water,
    My wool and my linen,
    My oil and my drink.'

     
  • Hosea 4:11-12
    "Harlotry, wine, and new wine enslave the heart.
    My people ask counsel from their wooden idols,
    And their staff informs them.
    For the spirit of harlotry has caused them to stray,
    And they have played the harlot against their God.

     
  • Hosea 7:1-4
    "When I would have healed Israel,
    Then the iniquity of Ephraim was uncovered,
    And the wickedness of Samaria.
    For they have committed fraud;
    A thief comes in;
    A band of robbers takes spoil outside.
    They do not consider in their hearts
    That I remember all their wickedness;
    Now their own deeds have surrounded them;
    They are before My face.
    They make a king glad with their wickedness,
    And princes with their lies.
    " They are all adulterers.
    Like an oven heated by a baker—
    He ceases stirring the fire after kneading the dough,
    Until it is leavened.
