Howshë´a` 2 part 1

1. they will have said of your brothers, "my people", and of your sisters, "she has been pitied". 2. Contend against your mother! Contend that she is not My wife, and that I am the One Who is not her Husband, so cause her to remove her adulteries from between her breasts, [Proverbs 25:24] 3. lest I should strip her naked so I would expose her as the day she was born, then I would make her become like an uninhabited land and I would make her become like parched desert land so I would cause her to die by the thirst; 4. and I would not have pity on her sons [~ Protestant Christian denominations] because they are the sons of adulteries 5. because their mother did commit adultery: she has put to shame their conception! As she has said, "I will go following my lovers who are providing my bread and my water, my wool and my linen, my oil and my drinks!" 6. therefore look, I am hedging her way with the thorns, and I will close off her wall so she will not find her path; 7. then she will ardently pursue to secure her lovers, but she will not be able to secure them, and she will seek to secure them but she will not acquire them, then she shall say, "I will go away and I will turn back towards my first Husband, because it was better for me at that time than now!" 8. yet she has not acknowledged that I am the One Who gave to her the grain and the new wine and the fresh oil and the silver which I caused to multiply for her, so the silver and the gold they have worked to make into the lord (bá`al), 9. therefore, I will turn away and I will take away My grain during its time-period and My new wine during its appointed time, and I will cause to be snatched away My wool and My linen for clothing her nakedness, 10. so now I will display her foolishness for the eyes of her lovers, though no one shall deliver her from My hand, 11. and I will cause all of her celebrations to cease: her feasts, and her months, and her days of repose and all of her appointed times, 12. and I will cause to be devastated her vine and her fig tree which she had said, "They are prostitute's pay for me which my lovers gave for me!" so I will transform them into a forest and the animals of the field will eat them, [Chanówkh 88:89-94] 13. then I will call to account against her the days of the lords (b'âlíym) wherein she burned incense for them, and she put on her earrings and her jewelry and she went after her lovers but Me, she forgot of Me!"
