Hosea 2:2

Plead--expostulate.

mother--that is the nation collectively. The address is to "her children," that is, to the individual citizens of the state (compare Isaiah 50:1).

for she is not my wife--She has deprived herself of her high privilege by spiritual adultery.

out of her sight--rather, "from her face." Her very countenance unblushingly betrayed her lust, as did also her exposed "breasts."
