- Hos 2:2 : 2 Plead{H7378}{(H8798)} with your mother{H517}, plead{H7378}{(H8798)}: for she is not my wife{H802}, neither am I her husband{H376}: let her therefore put away{H5493}{(H8686)} her whoredoms{H2183} out of her sight{H6440}, and her adulteries{H5005} from between her breasts{H7699};
- Hos 4:5 : 5 Therefore shalt thou fall{H3782}{(H8804)} in the day{H3117}, and the prophet{H5030} also shall fall{H3782}{(H8804)} with thee in the night{H3915}, and I will destroy{H1820}{(H8804)} thy mother{H517}.
- Hos 4:12-15 : 12 My people{H5971} ask{H7592}{(H8799)} counsel at their stocks{H6086}, and their staff{H4731} declareth{H5046}{(H8686)} unto them: for the spirit{H7307} of whoredoms{H2183} hath caused them to err{H8582}{(H8689)}, and they have gone a whoring{H2181}{(H8799)} from under their God{H430}. 13 They sacrifice{H2076}{(H8762)} upon the tops{H7218} of the mountains{H2022}, and burn incense{H6999}{(H8762)} upon the hills{H1389}, under oaks{H437} and poplars{H3839} and elms{H424}, because the shadow{H6738} thereof is good{H2896}: therefore your daughters{H1323} shall commit whoredom{H2181}{(H8799)}, and your spouses{H3618} shall commit adultery{H5003}{(H8762)}. 14 I will not punish{H6485}{(H8799)} your daughters{H1323} when they commit whoredom{H2181}{(H8799)}, nor your spouses{H3618} when they commit adultery{H5003}{(H8762)}: for themselves are separated{H6504}{(H8762)} with whores{H2181}{(H8802)}, and they sacrifice{H2076}{(H8762)} with harlots{H6948}: therefore the people{H5971} that doth not understand{H995}{(H8799)} shall fall{H3832}{(H8735)}. 15 Though thou, Israel{H3478}, play the harlot{H2181}{(H8802)}, yet let not Judah{H3063} offend{H816}{(H8799)}; and come{H935}{(H8799)} not ye unto Gilgal{H1537}, neither go ye up{H5927}{(H8799)} to Bethaven{H1007}, nor swear{H7650}{(H8735)}, The LORD{H3068} liveth{H2416}.
- Hos 8:9 : 9 For they are gone up{H5927}{(H8804)} to Assyria{H804}, a wild ass{H6501} alone{H909}{(H8802)} by himself: Ephraim{H669} hath hired{H8566}{(H8689)} lovers{H158}.
- Hos 9:10 : 10 I found{H4672}{(H8804)} Israel{H3478} like grapes{H6025} in the wilderness{H4057}; I saw{H7200}{(H8804)} your fathers{H1} as the firstripe{H1063} in the fig tree{H8384} at her first time{H7225}: but they went{H935}{(H8804)} to Baalpeor{H1187}, and separated{H5144}{(H8735)} themselves unto that shame{H1322}; and their abominations{H8251} were according as they loved{H157}{(H8800)}.
- Rev 2:20-23 : 20 Notwithstanding{G235} I have{G2192}{(G5719)} a few things{G3641} against{G2596} thee{G4675}, because{G3754} thou sufferest{G1439}{(G5719)} that woman{G1135} Jezebel{G2403}, which{G3588} calleth{G3004}{(G5723)} herself{G1438} a prophetess{G4398}, to teach{G1321}{(G5721)} and{G2532} to seduce{G4105}{(G5745)} my{G1699} servants{G1401} to commit fornication{G4203}{(G5658)}, and{G2532} to eat{G5315}{(G5629)} things sacrificed unto idols{G1494}. 21 And{G2532} I gave{G1325}{(G5656)} her{G846} space{G5550} to{G2443} repent{G3340}{(G5661)} of{G1537} her{G846} fornication{G4202}; and{G2532} she repented{G3340}{(G5656)} not{G3756}. 22 Behold{G2400}{(G5628)}, I{G1473} will cast{G906}{(G5719)} her{G846} into{G1519} a bed{G2825}, and{G2532} them that commit adultery{G3431}{(G5723)} with{G3326} her{G846} into{G1519} great{G3173} tribulation{G2347}, except{G3362} they repent{G3340}{(G5661)} of{G1537} their{G846} deeds{G2041}. 23 And{G2532} I will kill{G615}{(G5692)} her{G846} children{G5043} with{G1722} death{G2288}; and{G2532} all{G3956} the churches{G1577} shall know{G1097}{(G5695)} that{G3754} I{G1473} am{G1510}{(G5748)} he which{G3588} searcheth{G2045}{(G5723)} the reins{G3510} and{G2532} hearts{G2588}: and{G2532} I will give{G1325}{(G5692)} unto every one{G1538} of you{G5213} according to{G2596} your{G5216} works{G2041}.
- Rev 17:1-5 : 1 And{G2532} there came{G2064}{(G5627)} one{G1520} of{G1537} the seven{G2033} angels{G32} which{G3588} had{G2192}{(G5723)} the seven{G2033} vials{G5357}, and{G2532} talked{G2980}{(G5656)} with{G3326} me{G1700}, saying{G3004}{(G5723)} unto me{G3427}, Come hither{G1204}{(G5773)}; I will shew{G1166}{(G5692)} unto thee{G4671} the judgment{G2917} of the great{G3173} whore{G4204} that sitteth{G2521}{(G5740)} upon{G1909} many{G4183} waters{G5204}: 2 With{G3326} whom{G3739} the kings{G935} of the earth{G1093} have committed fornication{G4203}{(G5656)}, and{G2532} the inhabitants{G2730}{(G5723)} of the earth{G1093} have been made drunk{G3184}{(G5681)} with{G1537} the wine{G3631} of her{G846} fornication{G4202}. 3 So{G2532} he carried{G667} me{G3165} away{G667}{(G5656)} in{G1722} the spirit{G4151} into{G1519} the wilderness{G2048}: and{G2532} I saw{G1492}{(G5627)} a woman{G1135} sit{G2521}{(G5740)} upon{G1909} a scarlet coloured{G2847} beast{G2342}, full of{G1073}{(G5723)} names{G3686} of blasphemy{G988}, having{G2192}{(G5723)} seven{G2033} heads{G2776} and{G2532} ten{G1176} horns{G2768}. 4 And{G2532} the woman{G1135} was{G2258}{(G5713)} arrayed{G4016}{(G5772)} in purple{G4209} and{G2532} scarlet colour{G2847}, and{G2532} decked{G5558}{(G5772)} with gold{G5557} and{G2532} precious{G5093} stones{G3037} and{G2532} pearls{G3135}, having{G2192}{(G5723)} a golden{G5552} cup{G4221} in{G1722} her{G846} hand{G5495} full of{G1073}{(G5723)} abominations{G946} and{G2532} filthiness{G168} of her{G846} fornication{G4202}: 5 And{G2532} upon{G1909} her{G846} forehead{G3359} was a name{G3686} written{G1125}{(G5772)}, MYSTERY{G3466}, BABYLON{G897} THE GREAT{G3173}, THE MOTHER{G3384} OF HARLOTS{G4204} AND{G2532} ABOMINATIONS{G946} OF THE EARTH{G1093}.
