Hosea 1:2-9

2When Adonai first spoke with Hosea, Adonai said to Hosea: “Go, get yourself a prostitute as a wife and children with a prostitute! For the land is an unfaithful prostitute, far from following after Adonai.”

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

4Then Adonai said to him: “Name him Jezreel for in yet a little while I will visit the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and I will destroy the kingdom of the house of Israel.

5In that day I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.”

6Then she conceived again, and bore a daughter. And He said to him: “Name her Lo-ruhamah— for no longer will I have compassion on the house of Israel that I should ever pardon them.

7But on the house of Judah I will have compassion and deliver them by Adonai, their God, yet not by bow, sword or battle, nor by horses and horsemen.”

8After she weaned Lo-ruhamah, she conceived and bore a son.

9Then He said: “Name him Lo-ammi, for you are not My people and I am not yours.”
