[1] Yahweh’s§ word that came to Hosea the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel. [2] When Yahweh spoke at first by Hosea, Yahweh said to Hosea, “Go, take for yourself a wife of prostitution and children of unfaithfulness; for the land commits great adultery, forsaking Yahweh.” [3] So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; and she conceived, and bore him a son. [4] Yahweh said to him, “Call his name Jezreel, for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel on the house of Jehu, and will cause the kingdom of the house of Israel to cease. [5] It will happen in that day that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.” [6] She conceived again, and bore a daughter.Then he said to him, “Call her name Lo-Ruhamah,ⓘ for I will no longer have mercy on the house of Israel, that I should in any way pardon them. [7] But I will have mercy on the house of Judah, and will save them by Yahweh their God,§ and will not save them by bow, sword, battle, horses, or horsemen.” [8] Now when she had weaned Lo-Ruhamah, she conceived, and bore a son. [9] He said, “Call his name Lo-Ammi,ⓘ for you are not my people, and I will not be yours. [10] Yet the number of the children of Israel will be as the sand of the sea, which can’t be measured or counted; and it will come to pass that, in the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ they will be called ‘sons of the living God.’ [11] The children of Judah and the children of Israel will be gathered together, and they will appoint themselves one head, and will go up from the land; for great will be the day of Jezreel.

H3068 [3] So he went H3212 (QalImpf) and took H3947 (QalImpf) Gomer H1586 the daughter H1323 of Diblaim; H1691 which conceived, H2029 (QalImpf) and bare H3205 (QalImpf) him a son.

H3478 [5] And it shall come to pass at that day, H3117 that I will break H7665 (QalPerf) the bow H7198 of Israel H3478 in the valley H6010 of Jezreel.

H1323 And God said H559 (QalImpf) unto him, Call H7121 (QalImpv) her name H8034 Lo-ruhamah: H3819 (PualPerf)ⓘ for I will no more H3254 (HiphImpf)§ have mercy H7355 (PielImpf) upon the house H1004 of Israel; H3478 but I will utterly H5375 (QalInf) take them away.

[10] Yet the number H4557 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 shall be as the sand H2344 of the sea, H3220 which cannot be measured H4058 (NiphImpf) nor numbered; H5608 (NiphImpf) and it shall come to pass, that in§ the place H4725 where it was said H559 (NiphImpf) unto them, Ye are not my people, H5971 there it shall be said H559 (NiphImpf) unto them, Ye are the sons H1121 of the living H2416 God. H410 [11] Then shall the children H1121 of Judah H3063 and the children H1121 of Israel H3478 be gathered H6908 (NiphPerf) together, H3162 and appoint H7760 (QalPerf) themselves one H259 head, H7218 and they shall come up H5927 (QalPerf) out of the land: H776 for great H1419 shall be the day H3117 of Jezreel.
