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