2  “Plead with ^qyour mother, plead—

for she is not my wife,

and I am not her husband—

that she put away her ^rwhoring from her face,

and her adultery from between her breasts;

3  lest I strip her naked

and make her as in the day she was born,

and make her like a wilderness,

and make her like a parched land,

and kill her with thirst.
