Hosea 1:2-5

2The beginning of the word of Yhwh by Hosea. And Yhwh said to Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms and children of whoredoms: for the land hath committed great whoredom, departing from Yhwh.

3So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; which conceived, and bare him a son.

4And Yhwh said unto him, Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.1

5And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.
