The word <H1697> of the LORD <H3068> that came unto Hosea, <H1954> the son <H1121> of Beeri, <H0882> in the days <H3117> of Uzziah, <H5818> Jotham, <H3147> Ahaz, <H0271> [and] Hezekiah, <H3169> kings <H4428> of Judah, <H3063> and in the days <H3117> of Jeroboam <H3379> the son <H1121> of Joash, <H3101> king <H4428> of Israel. <H3478>
2
The beginning <H8462> of the word <H1696> of the LORD <H3068> by Hosea. <H1954> And the LORD <H3068> said <H0559> to Hosea, <H1954> Go, <H3212> take <H3947> unto thee a wife <H0802> of whoredoms <H2183> and children <H3206> of whoredoms: <H2183> for the land <H0776> hath committed great <H2181> whoredom, <H2181> [departing] from <H0310> the LORD. <H3068>
3
So he went <H3212> and took <H3947> Gomer <H1586> the daughter <H1323> of Diblaim; <H1691> which conceived, <H2029> and bare <H3205> him a son. <H1121>
4
And the LORD <H3068> said <H0559> unto him, Call <H7121> his name <H8034> Jezreel; <H3157> for yet a little <H4592> [while], and I will avenge <H6485> the blood <H1818> of Jezreel <H3157> upon the house <H1004> of Jehu, <H3058> and will cause to cease <H7673> the kingdom <H4468> of the house <H1004> of Israel. <H3478>
5
And it shall come to pass at that day, <H3117> that I will break <H7665> the bow <H7198> of Israel <H3478> in the valley <H6010> of Jezreel. <H3157>
6
And she conceived <H2029> again, and bare <H3205> a daughter. <H1323> And [God] said <H0559> unto him, Call <H7121> her name <H8034> Loruhamah: <H3808> <H7355><H3819> for I will no <H3808> more <H3254> have mercy <H7355> upon the house <H1004> of Israel; <H3478> but I will utterly <H5375> take them away. <H5375>
7
But I will have mercy <H7355> upon the house <H1004> of Judah, <H3063> and will save <H3467> them by the LORD <H3068> their God, <H0430> and will not save <H3467> them by bow, <H7198> nor by sword, <H2719> nor by battle, <H4421> by horses, <H5483> nor by horsemen. <H6571>
8
Now when she had weaned <H1580> Loruhamah, <H3808> <H7355><H3819> she conceived, <H2029> and bare <H3205> a son. <H1121>
9
Then said <H0559> [God], Call <H7121> his name <H8034> Loammi: <H3808> <H5971><H3818> for ye [are] not <H3808> my people, <H5971> and I will not <H3808> be your [God].
10
Yet the number <H4557> of the children <H1121> of Israel <H3478> shall be as the sand <H2344> of the sea, <H3220> which cannot be measured <H4058> nor numbered; <H5608> and it shall come to pass, [that] in the place <H4725> where it was said <H0559> unto them, Ye [are] not my people, <H5971> [there] it shall be said <H0559> unto them, [Ye are] the sons <H1121> of the living <H2416> God. <H0410>
11
Then shall the children <H1121> of Judah <H3063> and the children <H1121> of Israel <H3478> be gathered <H6908> together, <H3162> and appoint <H7760> themselves one <H0259> head, <H7218> and they shall come up <H5927> out of the land: <H0776> for great <H1419> [shall be] the day <H3117> of Jezreel. <H3157>
