lest I strip her naked, and make her bare as in the day that she was born, and make her like a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and kill her with thirst.

ગુજરાતીહોશિયા ૨:૩
જો તેમ નહિ, તો હું તેને નિર્વસ્ત્ર કરી દઈશ તેના જન્મદિવસે તે હતી તેવી તેની નિર્વસ્ત્ર દશા હું બતાવીશ. હું તેને અરણ્ય સમાન કરીને, સૂકી ભૂમિ જેવી કરી દઈશ, હું તેને પાણી વગર તરસે મારી નાખીશ.
हिन्दीहोशे २:३
नहीं तो मैं उसके वस्त्र उतारकर उसको जन्म के दिन के समान नंगी कर दूँगा, और उसको मरुस्थल के समान और मरूभूमि सरीखी बनाऊँगा, और उसे प्यास से मार डालूँगा।

In context

1“Say to your brothers, ‘My people!’ and to your sisters, ‘My loved one!’

2Contend with your mother! Contend, for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband; and let her put away her prostitution from her face, and her adulteries from between her breasts;

3lest I strip her naked, and make her bare as in the day that she was born, and make her like a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and kill her with thirst.

4Indeed, on her children I will have no mercy, for they are children of unfaithfulness.

5For their mother has played the prostitute. She who conceived them has done shamefully; for she said, ‘I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.’
