Hosea 1:2-5

2When the Lord first spoke to Hosea, the Lord told him, “Marry a prostitute and have children with that prostitute. The people in this land have acted like prostitutes and abandoned the Lord.”

3So Hosea married Gomer, daughter of Diblaim. She became pregnant and had a son.

4The Lord told Hosea, “Name him Jezreel. In a little while I will punish Jehu’s family for the people they slaughtered at Jezreel. Then I will put an end to the kingdom of Israel.

5On that day I will break Israel’s bows and arrows in the valley of Jezreel.”
