The Book of the Prophet Hosea 11:1-4, 8-9

11:1Just as the morning passes, so has the king of Israel passed by. For Israel was a child and I loved him; and out of Egypt I called my son.
11:2They called them, and so they departed before their face. They offered victims to the Baals, and they sacrificed to graven images.
11:3And I was like a foster father to Ephraim. I carried them in my arms. And they did not know that I healed them.
11:4I will draw them with the cords of Adam, with the bands of love. And I will be to them like one who raises the yoke over their jaws. And I will reach down to him so that he may eat.
11:8How will I provide for you, Ephraim; how will I protect you, Israel? How will I provide for you as for Adam; will I set you like Zeboiim? My heart has changed within me; together with my regret, it has been stirred up.
11:9I will not act on the fury of my wrath. I will not turn back to utterly destroy Ephraim. For I am God, and not man, the Divine in your midst, and I will not advance upon the city.

Sveto Evanđelje po Mateju 10: 1-7

10:1And rising up, he went from there into the area of Judea beyond the Jordan. I opet, the crowd came together before him. And just as he was accustomed to do, again he taught them.
10:2I približavanje, pitali su ga farizeji, testirajući ga: “Je li dopušteno da čovjek otpusti svoju ženu?”
10:3Ali kao odgovor, rekao im je, “Što vam je Mojsije rekao?”
10:4I rekli su, “Mojsije je dao dopuštenje da se napiše razvod i da je otpusti.”
10:5Ali Isus je odgovorio rekavši: “Zbog tvrdoće vašeg srca napisao je tu zapovijed za vas.
10:6Ali od početka stvaranja, Bog ih je stvorio muško i žensko.
10:7Zbog ovoga, čovjek će ostaviti oca i majku, i on će prionuti uz svoju ženu.
