[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.

[1] The word H1697 of the Lord H3068 that came unto Hosea, H1954 the son H1121 of Beeri, H882 in the days H3117 of Uzziah, H5818 Jotham, H3147 Ahaz, H271 and Hezekiah, H3169 kings H4428 of Judah, H3063 and in the days H3117 of Jeroboam H3379 the son H1121 of Joash, H3101 king H4428 of Israel. H3478 [2] The beginning H8462 of the word H1696 of the Lord H3068 by Hosea. H1954 And the Lord H3068 said H559 to Hosea, H1954 Go, H3212 take H3947 unto H413 thee a wife H802 of whoredoms H2183 and children H3206 of whoredoms: H2183 for H3588 the land H776 hath committed great H2181 whoredom, H2181 departing from H310 the Lord. H3068 [3] So he went H3212 and took H3947 H853 Gomer H1586 the daughter H1323 of Diblaim; H1691 which conceived, H2029 and bare H3205 him a son. H1121 [4] And the Lord H3068 said H559 unto H413 him, Call H7121 his name H8034 Jezreel; H3157 for H3588 yet a little H4592 while, and I will avenge H6485§ H853 the blood H1818 of Jezreel H3157 upon H5921 the house H1004 of Jehu, H3058 and will cause to cease H7673 the kingdom H4468 of the house H1004 of Israel. H3478 [5] And it shall come to pass at that day, H3117 that I will break H7665 H853 the bow H7198 of Israel H3478 in the valley H6010 of Jezreel. H3157 [6] And she conceived again, H2029 and bare H3205 a daughter. H1323 And God said H559 unto him, Call H7121 her name H8034 Lo-ruhamah: H3819ⓘ for H3588 I will no more H3254§ have mercy H7355 H853 upon the house H1004 of Israel; H3478 but I will utterly H5375 take them away. H5375§ [7] But I will have mercy H7355 upon the house H1004 of Judah, H3063 and will save H3467 them by the Lord H3068 their God, H430 and will not save H3467 them by bow, H7198 nor by sword, H2719 nor by battle, H4421 by horses, H5483 nor by horsemen. H6571 [8] Now when she had weaned H1580 H853 Lo-ruhamah, H3819 she conceived, H2029 and bare H3205 a son. H1121 [9] Then said H559 God, Call H7121 his name H8034 Lo-ammi: H3818ⓘ for ye are not my people, H5971 and I will not be your God. [10] Yet the number H4557 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 shall be as the sand H2344 of the sea, H3220 which H834 cannot be measured H4058 nor numbered; H5608 and it shall come to pass, that in§ the place H4725 where H834 it was said H559 unto them, Ye are not my people, H5971 there it shall be said H559 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 together, H3162 and appoint H7760 themselves one H259 head, H7218 and they shall come up H5927 out of H4480 the land: H776 for H3588 great H1419 shall be the day H3117 of Jezreel. H3157
