[a] Say to your brother,[b] “My people,” and to your sister,[c] “She has obtained pity.”

Israel’s Infidelity, Punishment, and Redemption

“Plead with your mother, plead—
    for she is not my wife,
    and I am not her husband—
that she put away her harlotry from her face,
    and her adultery from between her breasts;
lest I strip her naked
    and make her as in the day she was born,
and make her like a wilderness,
    and set her like a parched land,
    and slay her with thirst.
