“Contend with your mother (nation); contend,
For she is not my wife and I am not her husband;
And have her remove her [marks of] prostitution from her face
And her adultery from between her breasts

The rulers of Judah have become as they who remove a land-mark. Upon them, will I pour out, like water, my wrath.

Gilead is a city of trouble-makers, slippery with blood marks.
