Hosea 2:4
“Indeed, on her children I will have no mercy; for they are children of unfaithfulness;”
Verse in context — Hosea 2
Contend 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;
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.
Indeed, on her children I will have no mercy; for they are children of unfaithfulness;
For 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.
Therefore, behold, I will hedge up your way with thorns, and I will build a wall against her, that she can't find her way.
