2When the LordH3068 firstH8462 spokeH1696 through HoseaH1954, the LordH3068 saidH559 to HoseaH1954, “1GoH1980, takeH3947 for yourself a wifeH802 2inclined to infidelityH2183, and childrenH3206 of infidelityH2183; for 3the landH776 commitsH2181 flagrantH2181 infidelityH2181, 4abandoningH4480H310 the LordH3068.” 3So he wentH1980 and tookH3947 GomerH1586 the daughterH1323 of DiblaimH1691, and she conceivedH2029 and 5boreH3205 him a sonH1121. 4And the LordH3068 saidH559 to him, “NameH7121H8034 him 6JezreelH3157; for in justH5750 a littleH4592 whileH4592 7I will 8punishH6485 the houseH1004 of JehuH3058 for the bloodshedH1818 of JezreelH3157, and 9I will putH7673 anH7673 endH7673 toH7673 the kingdomH4468 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478. 5On that dayH3117 I will 10breakH7665 the bowH7198 of IsraelH3478 in the 11ValleyH6010 of JezreelH3157.”

6Then she conceivedH2029 againH5750 and gaveH3205 birthH3205 to a daughterH1323. And 12the Lord saidH559 to him, “NameH7121H8034 her 13Lo-ruhamahH3819, for I will noH3808 longerH3254H5750 14takeH7355 pityH7355 onH7355 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, that I would everH5375 forgiveH5375 them. 7But I will takeH7355 15pityH7355 onH7355 the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 and 16saveH3467 them by the LordH3068 their GodH430, and will not saveH3467 them by 17bowH7198, swordH2719, battleH4421, horsesH5483, or horsemenH6571.”

8When she had weanedH1580 Lo-ruhamahH3819, she conceivedH2029 and gaveH3205 birthH3205 to a sonH1121. 9And 18the Lord saidH559, “NameH7121H8034 him 19Lo-ammiH3818, becauseH3588 you are not My peopleH5971, and I am not 20your God.”
