54:5 For your husband is the one who made you –
the Lord who commands armies is his name.
He is your protector, 1 the Holy One of Israel. 2
He is called “God of the entire earth.”
3:20 But, you have been unfaithful to me, nation of Israel, 3
like an unfaithful wife who has left her husband,” 4
says the Lord.
2:2 Plead earnestly 7 with your 8 mother
(for 9 she is not my wife, and I am not her husband),
so that 10 she might put an end to her adulterous lifestyle, 11
and turn away from her sexually immoral behavior. 12
2:3 Otherwise, I will strip her naked,
and expose her like she was when she was born.
I will turn her land into a wilderness
and make her country a parched land,
so that I might kill 13 her with thirst.
2:4 I will have no pity on her children, 14
because they are children conceived in adultery. 15
