Hosea 1:2-5

2When the Lord began to speak by Hosea, the Lord said to Hosea: “Go, take yourself a wife of harlotry And children of harlotry, For the land has committed great harlotry By departing from the Lord.”

3So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son.

4Then the Lord said to him: “Call his name Jezreel, For in a little while I will avenge the bloodshed of Jezreel on the house of Jehu, And bring an end to the kingdom of the house of Israel.

5It shall come to pass in that day That I will break the bow of Israel in the Valley of Jezreel.”
