| 2:1 | Say ye unto your brethren, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah. |
| 2:2 | Plead with your mother, plead: for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband: let her therefore put away her whoredoms out of her sight, and her adulteries from between her breasts; |
| 2:3 | Lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and slay her with thirst. |
| 2:4 | And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they be the children of whoredoms. |
| 2:5 | For their mother hath played the harlot: she that conceived them hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink. |
| 2:5 | 他們的母親行了淫亂、懷他們的母作了可羞恥的事、因為他說、我要隨從所愛的．我的餅、水、羊毛、麻、油、酒都是他們給的。 |
| 2:5 | 他们的母亲行了淫乱，怀他们的母做了可羞耻的事，因为她说，我要随从所爱的，我的饼，水，羊毛，麻，油，酒都是他们给的。 |
| isa:1:21 | How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers. |
| jer:3:1 | They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man's, shall he return unto her again? shall not that land be greatly polluted? but thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, saith the LORD. |
| jer:3:6 | The LORD said also unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen that which backsliding Israel hath done? she is gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there hath played the harlot. |
| jer:3:8 | And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also. |
| jer:3:9 | And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom, that she defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks. |
| eze:16:15 | But thou didst trust in thine own beauty, and playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy fornications on every one that passed by; his it was. |
| eze:16:16 | And of thy garments thou didst take, and deckedst thy high places with divers colours, and playedst the harlot thereupon: the like things shall not come, neither shall it be so. |
| hos:2:8 | For she did not know that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold, which they prepared for Baal. |
| hos:2:12 | And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, whereof she hath said, These are my rewards that my lovers have given me: and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them. |
| jer:44:17 | But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil. |

| 2:6 | Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths. |
| 2:7 | And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now. |
| 2:8 | For she did not know that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold, which they prepared for Baal. |
| 2:9 | Therefore will I return, and take away my corn in the time thereof, and my wine in the season thereof, and will recover my wool and my flax given to cover her nakedness. |
| 2:10 | And now will I discover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of mine hand. |
| 2:11 | I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts. |
| 2:12 | And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, whereof she hath said, These are my rewards that my lovers have given me: and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them. |
| 2:13 | And I will visit upon her the days of Baalim, wherein she burned incense to them, and she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers, and forgat me, saith the LORD. |
| 2:14 | Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her. |
| 2:15 | And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt. |
| 2:16 | And it shall be at that day, saith the LORD, that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali. |
| 2:17 | For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name. |
| 2:18 | And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely. |
| 2:19 | And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies. |
| 2:20 | I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the LORD. |
| 2:21 | And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith the LORD, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth; |
| 2:22 | And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jezreel. |
| 2:23 | And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my God. |
