Hosea Chapter 1

1The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 that cameH1961 unto HoseaH1954 the sonH1121 of BeeriH882, in the daysH3117 of UzziahH5818, JothamH3147, AhazH271, and HezekiahH2396, kingsH4428 of JudahH3063, and in the daysH3117 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101, kingH4428 of IsraelH3478. 2When the LORDH3068 spake at the firstH8462 by HoseaH1954, the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto HoseaH1954, Go, takeH3947 unto thee a wifeH802 of whoredom and childrenH3206 of whoredom: for the landH776 doth commitH2181 great whoredom, departing from the LORDH3068. 3SoH3947 he went and tookH3947 GomerH1586 the daughterH1323 of Diblaim; and she conceivedH2029, and bare him a sonH1121. 4And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto him, CallH7121 his nameH8034 JezreelH3157; for yet a littleH4592 whileH5750, and I will avenge the bloodH1818 of JezreelH3157 uponH5921 the houseH1004 of JehuH3058, and will causeH7121 the kingdomH4468 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 to ceaseH7673. 5And it shall comeH1961 to passH1961 at that dayH3117, that I will breakH7665 the bowH7198 of IsraelH3478 in the valleyH6010 of JezreelH3157. 6And sheH3588 conceivedH2029 againH5750, and bare a daughterH1323. And the LORD saidH559 unto him, CallH7121 herH5375 nameH8034 Lo-ruhamahH3819: for I will noH3808 moreH5750 have mercyH7355 uponH7121 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, that I should in anyH5750 wise pardonH5375 them. 7But I will have mercyH7355 upon the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, and will saveH3467 them by the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and will notH3808 saveH3467 them by bowH7198, norH3808 by swordH2719, norH3808 by battleH4421, by horsesH5483, norH3808 by horsemenH6571. 8Now when she had weanedH1580 Lo-ruhamahH3819, she conceivedH2029, and bare a sonH1121. 9And the LORD saidH559, CallH7121 his nameH8034 Lo-ammiH3818: for ye are notH3808 my peopleH5971, and I will notH3808 be your GodH559. 10Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass that, in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God. 11And the children of Judah and the children of Israel shall be gathered together, and they shall appoint themselves one head, and shall go up from the land: for great shall be the day of Jezreel.
