“Call your brothers My-People and your sisters Shown-Tender-Mercy. Go to court. Take legal action against your mother and put her on trial. For she is no longer my wife, and I am no longer her husband. She must remove the symbols of prostitution from her face and the seductive charms of her adulteries from between her breasts. If not, I will strip her naked and humiliate her and expose her nakedness as on the day she was born. I will make her as bare as the desert, turn her into a barren land, and let her die of thirst. I will feel no pity for her children, since they are the children of her shameless prostitution. Yes, their mother has prostituted herself, the one who conceived them has disgraced herself. For she said, ‘I will chase after my lovers; they will provide all I need: my robe, my clothing, my oil, and my wine.’

This book reminds us that despite our sinful idolatry, God is always faithful.
