Hosea 1:3-9

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.”

6Gomer againH5750 conceivedH2029 and gave birth toH3205 a daughterH1323, and the LORD saidH559 to Hosea, “NameH7121 herH8034 Lo-ruhamahH3819,2 forH3588 I will noH3808 longerH3254H5750 have compassionH7355 on the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, thatH3588 I should ever forgiveH5375 them. 7YetH853 I will have compassionH7355 on the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, and I will save themH3467—notH3808 by bowH7198 or swordH2719 or warH4421, not by horsesH5483 and cavalryH6571, but by the LORDH3068 their GodH430.”

8After she had weanedH1580 Lo-ruhamahH3819, Gomer conceivedH2029 and gave birth toH3205 a sonH1121. 9And the LORD saidH559, “NameH7121 himH8034 Lo-ammiH3818,3 forH3588 youH859 are notH3808 My peopleH5971, and IH595 am notH3808 your GodH1961.4
