Hosea Chapter 1

1The wordH1697 of Jehovah that came unto HoseaH1954 the sonH1121 of BeeriH882, in the daysH3117 of UzziahH5818, JothamH3147, AhazH271, and HezekiahH2396, kingsH4428 of JudahH3063, and in the daysH3117 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101, kingH4428 of IsraelH3478.

2When Jehovah spake at the firstH8462 by HoseaH1954, Jehovah saidH559 unto HoseaH1954, Go, takeH3947 unto thee a wifeH802 of whoredom and childrenH3206 of whoredom; for the landH776 doth commit great whoredom, departing from Jehovah. 3So he went and tookH3947 GomerH1586 the daughterH1323 of Diblaim; and she conceivedH2029, and bare him a sonH1121. 4And Jehovah saidH559 unto him, CallH7121 his nameH8034 JezreelH3157; for yetH5750 a littleH4592 while, and I will avenge the bloodH1818 of JezreelH3157 upon the houseH1004 of JehuH3058, and will cause the kingdomH4468 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 to ceaseH7673. 5And it shall come to pass at that dayH3117, that I will breakH7665 the bowH7198 of IsraelH3478 in the valleyH6010 of JezreelH3157. 6And she conceivedH2029 againH5750, and bare a daughterH1323. And Jehovah saidH559 unto him, CallH7121 her nameH8034 Lo-ruhamahH3819; for I will no more have mercyH7355 upon the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, that I should in any wise pardon them. 7But I will have mercyH7355 upon the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, and will saveH3467 them by Jehovah their GodH430, and will not saveH3467 them by bowH7198, nor by swordH2719, nor by battleH4421, by horsesH5483, nor by horsemenH6571. 8Now when she had weanedH1580 Lo-ruhamahH3819, she conceivedH2029, and bare a sonH1121. 9And Jehovah saidH559, CallH7121 his nameH8034 Lo-ammi; for ye are not my peopleH5971, and I will not beH1961 your God.

10Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass that, in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God. 11And the children of Judah and the children of Israel shall be gathered together, and they shall appoint themselves one head, and shall go up from the land; for great shall be the day of Jezreel.
