Hosea 1
- 1The word of the Lord that came to Hosea, the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.
- 2The beginning of the word of the Lord by Hosea. And the Lord said to Hosea, Go, take to you a wife of prostitution and children of prostitution. For the land has committed great prostitution, turning away from the Lord.
- 3So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim. Which conceived, and bore him a son.
- 4And the Lord said to him, Call his name Jezreel. For yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel on the house of Jehu, and will put an end to the kingdom of the house of Israel.
- 5On that day I will break the bow of Israel, in the valley of Jezreel.
- 6And she conceived again, and bore a daughter. And God said to him, Call her name Loruhamah. For I will no more have mercy on the house of Israel. But I will completely take them away.
- 7But I will have mercy on the house of Judah, and will save them by the Lord their God, and will not save them by bow, or by sword, or by battle, by horses, or by horsemen.
- 8Now when she had weaned Loruhamah, she conceived, and bore a son.
- 9Then God said, Call his name Loammi. For you are not my people, and I will not be your God.
- 10Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured or numbered. And in the place where it was said to them, You are not my people, there it shall be said to them, You are the sons of the living God.
- 11Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together, and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up out of the land. For great shall be the day of Jezreel.
