Hosea 1:2-5

2When the LORDH3068 firstH8462 spokeH1696 through HoseaH1954, HeH3068 toldH559H413 himH1954, “GoH1980, takeH3947 a prostituteH2183 as your wifeH802 and have childrenH3206 of adulteryH2183, becauseH3588 this landH776 is flagrantly prostituting itselfH2181 by departing fromH310 the LORDH3068.”

3So Hosea wentH1980 and marriedH3947 GomerH1586 daughterH1323 of DiblaimH1691, and she conceivedH2029 and boreH3205 him a sonH1121.

4Then the LORDH3068 saidH559 toH413 Hosea, “Name himH7121H8034 JezreelH3157,1 forH3588 soonH5750H4592 I will bringH6485 the bloodshedH1818 of JezreelH3157 uponH5921 the houseH1004 of JehuH3058, and I will put an endH7673 to the kingdomH4468 of IsraelH1004H3478. 5AndH1961 on thatH1931 dayH3117 I will breakH7665 the bowH7198 of IsraelH3478 in the ValleyH6010 of JezreelH3157.”
