Hosea 1:2-9

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.”

6And she conceived again and bore a daughter. Then God said to him: “Call her name Lo-Ruhamah, For I will no longer have mercy on the house of Israel, But I will utterly take them away.

7Yet I will have mercy on the house of Judah, Will save them by the Lord their God, And will not save them by bow, Nor by sword or battle, By horses or horsemen.”

8Now when she had weaned Lo-Ruhamah, she conceived and bore a son.

9Then God said: “Call his name Lo-Ammi, For you are not My people, And I will not be your God.
