You are doing the works of your own father.”“ We are not illegitimate children,” they protested.“ The only Father we have is God himself.”

You are doing what your own father does.”“ We have the right to claim to be God’s children,” they objected.“ The only Father we have is God himself.”

You are doing the works your father did.” They said to him,“ We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father— even God.”

No, you are imitating your real father.” They replied,“ We aren’t illegitimate children! God himself is our true Father.”

You’re doing what your father does.”“ We weren’t born of sexual immorality,” they said.“ We have one Father— God.”

You are doing the deeds of your father.” They said to Him,“ We were not born as a result of sexual immorality; we have one Father: God.”

You do the deeds of your father.” Then they said to Him,“ We were not born of fornication; we have one Father— God.”

Ye do the works of your father. They said unto him, We were not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.

Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father,[ even] God.

You people are doing the deeds of your father.” Then they said to Jesus,“ We were not born as a result of immorality! We have only one Father, God himself.”

You do the works of your father.” They said to him,“ We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God.”

Yet Lord, You are our Father; we are the clay, and You are our potter; we all are the work of Your hands.

You are of your father the Devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning and has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he speaks from his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of liars.

Yet You are our Father, even though Abraham does not know us and Israel doesn’t recognize us. You, Yahweh, are our Father; from ancient times, Your name is our Redeemer.

I speak what I have seen in the presence of the Father; therefore, you do what you have heard from your father.”

Judah has acted treacherously, and a detestable thing has been done in Israel and in Jerusalem. For Judah has profaned the Lord’s sanctuary, which He loves, and has married the daughter of a foreign god.

Then you will say to Pharaoh: This is what Yahweh says: Israel is My firstborn son.

“ You are sons of the Lord your God; do not cut yourselves or make a bald spot on your head on behalf of the dead,

“ A son honors his father, and a servant his master. But if I am a father, where is My honor? And if I am a master, where is your fear of Me? says Yahweh of Hosts to you priests, who despise My name.” Yet you ask:“ How have we despised Your name?”

I thought: How I long to make you My sons and give you a desirable land, the most beautiful inheritance of all the nations. I thought: You will call Me, my Father, and never turn away from Me.

Is this how you repay the Lord, you foolish and senseless people? Isn’t He your Father and Creator? Didn’t He make you and sustain you?

Isn’t Ephraim a precious son to Me, a delightful child? Whenever I speak against him, I certainly still think about him. Therefore, My inner being yearns for him; I will truly have compassion on him. This is the Lord’s declaration.

But come here, you sons of a sorceress, offspring of an adulterer and a prostitute!Who is it you are mocking? Who is it you are opening your mouth and sticking out your tongue at? Isn’t it you, you rebellious children, you race of liars,who burn with lust among the oaks, under every green tree, who slaughter children in the wadis below the clefts of the rocks?Your portion is among the smooth stones of the wadi; indeed, they are your lot. You have even poured out a drink offering to them; you have offered a grain offering; should I be satisfied with these?You have placed your bed on a high and lofty mountain; you also went up there to offer sacrifice.

When the Lord first spoke to Hosea, He said this to him: Go and marry a promiscuous wife and have children of promiscuity, for the land is committing blatant acts of promiscuity by abandoning the Lord.

“ You even took your sons and daughters you bore to Me and sacrificed them to these images as food. Wasn’t your prostitution enough?You slaughtered My children and gave them up when you passed them through the fire to the images.

Rebuke your mother; rebuke her. For she is not My wife and I am not her husband. Let her remove the promiscuous look from her face and her adultery from between her breasts.Otherwise, I will strip her naked and expose her as she was on the day of her birth. I will make her like a desert and like a parched land, and I will let her die of thirst.I will have no compassion on her children because they are the children of promiscuity.Yes, their mother is promiscuous; she conceived them and acted shamefully. For she thought,“ I will go after my lovers, the men who give me my food and water, my wool and flax, my oil and drink.”

But righteous men will judge them the way adulteresses and those who shed blood are judged, for they are adulteresses and blood is on their hands.“ This is what the Lord God says: Summon an assembly against them and consign them to terror and plunder.The assembly will stone them and cut them down with their swords. They will kill their sons and daughters and burn their houses with fire.
