Hosea Chapter 1

1The wordH1697 of Jehovah that came unto HoseaH1954, the sonH1121 of BeeriH882, in the daysH3117 of UzziahH5818, JothamH3147, AhazH271, HezekiahH2396, kingsH4428 of JudahH3063, and in the daysH3117 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101, kingH4428 of IsraelH3478. 2The beginning of the word of Jehovah through HoseaH1954. And Jehovah saidH559 to HoseaH1954, Go, takeH3947 unto thee a wifeH802 of whoredoms, and childrenH3206 of whoredoms; for the landH776 is entirely given up to whoredom, away from Jehovah. 3And he went and tookH3947 GomerH1586 the daughterH1323 of Diblaim; and she conceivedH2029 and boreH3205 him a sonH1121. 4And Jehovah saidH559 unto him, CallH7121 his nameH8034 Jizreel; for yetH5750 a littleH4592, and I will visitH6485 the bloodH1818 of Jizreel upon the houseH1004 of JehuH3058, and will cause the kingdomH4468 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 to ceaseH7673. 5And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that I will breakH7665 the bowH7198 of IsraelH3478 in the valleyH6010 of Jizreel. 6And she conceivedH2029 againH5750, and boreH3205 a daughterH1323. And he saidH559 unto him, CallH7121 her nameH8034 Lo-ruhamahH3819; for I will no more have mercyH7355 upon the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, so that I should pardon them. 7But I will have mercyH7355 upon the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, and will saveH3467 them by Jehovah their 1GodH430; and I will not saveH3467 them by bowH7198, or by swordH2719, or by battleH4421, [or] by horsesH5483, or by horsemenH6571. 8And she weanedH1580 Lo-ruhamahH3819; and she conceivedH2029 and boreH3205 a sonH1121; 9and he saidH559, CallH7121 his nameH8034 Lo-ammi; for ye are not my peopleH5971, and I will not beH1961 for you. 10Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea which cannot be measured or 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, Sons of the living 2God. 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 out of the land: for great is the day of Jizreel.
