Hosea 2:1
“Say of your brothers, ‘My people,’ and of your sisters, ‘My loved one.’
2 Rebuke your mother, rebuke her, for she is not My wife, and I am not her husband. Let her remove the adultery from her face and the unfaithfulness from between her breasts.
3 Otherwise, I will strip her naked and expose her like the day of her birth. I will make her like a desert and turn her into a parched land, and I will let her die of thirst.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
