    for she is not my wife,
    and I am not her husband—

    and her adultery from between her breasts,
or I will strip her naked
    and expose her as in the day she was born,
and make her like a wilderness,

    and kill her with thirst.
Upon her children also I will have no pity,
    because they are children of whoredom.
