Dual Panel1The word <01697> of the LORD <03068> that came unto Hosea <01954>_, the son <01121> of Beeri <0882>_, in the days <03117> of Uzziah <05818>_, Jotham <03147>_, Ahaz <0271>_, [and] Hezekiah <03169>_, kings <04428> of Judah <03063>_, and in the days <03117> of Jeroboam <03379> the son <01121> of Joash <03101>_, king <04428> of Israel <03478>_.
2The beginning <08462> of the word <01696> (8763) of the LORD <03068> by Hosea <01954>_. And the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799) to Hosea <01954>_, Go <03212> (8798)_, take <03947> (8798) unto thee a wife <0802> of whoredoms <02183> and children <03206> of whoredoms <02183>_: for the land <0776> hath committed great <02181> (8800) whoredom <02181> (8799)_, [departing] from <0310> the LORD <03068>_.
3So he went <03212> (8799) and took <03947> (8799) Gomer <01586> the daughter <01323> of Diblaim <01691>_; which conceived <02029> (8799)_, and bare <03205> (8799) him a son <01121>_.
4And the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799) unto him, Call <07121> (8798) his name <08034> Jezreel <03157>_; for yet a little <04592> [while], and I will avenge <06485> (8804) the blood <01818> of Jezreel <03157> upon the house <01004> of Jehu <03058>_, and will cause to cease <07673> (8689) the kingdom <04468> of the house <01004> of Israel <03478>_. {avenge: Heb. visit}
5And it shall come to pass at that day <03117>_, that I will break <07665> (8804) the bow <07198> of Israel <03478> in the valley <06010> of Jezreel <03157>_.
6And she conceived again <02029> (8799)_, and bare <03205> (8799) a daughter <01323>_. And [God] said <0559> (8799) unto him, Call <07121> (8798) her name <08034> Loruhamah <03819> (8795)_: for I will no more <03254> (8686) have mercy <07355> (8762) upon the house <01004> of Israel <03478>_; but I will utterly <05375> (8800) take them away <05375> (8799)_. {Loruhamah: that is, Not having obtained mercy} {no...: Heb. not add any more to} {but...: or, that I should altogether pardon them}
7But I will have mercy <07355> (8762) upon the house <01004> of Judah <03063>_, and will save <03467> (8689) them by the LORD <03068> their God <0430>_, and will not save <03467> (8686) them by bow <07198>_, nor by sword <02719>_, nor by battle <04421>_, by horses <05483>_, nor by horsemen <06571>_.
8Now when she had weaned <01580> (8799) Loruhamah <03819> (8795)_, she conceived <02029> (8799)_, and bare <03205> (8799) a son <01121>_.
9Then said <0559> (8799) [God], Call <07121> (8798) his name <08034> Loammi <03818>_: for ye [are] not my people <05971>_, and I will not be your [God]. {Loammi: that is, Not my people}
10Yet the number <04557> of the children <01121> of Israel <03478> shall be as the sand <02344> of the sea <03220>_, which cannot be measured <04058> (8735) nor numbered <05608> (8735)_; and it shall come to pass, [that] in the place <04725> where it was said <0559> (8735) unto them, Ye [are] not my people <05971>_, [there] it shall be said <0559> (8735) unto them, [Ye are] the sons <01121> of the living <02416> God <0410>_. {in...: or, instead of that}
11Then shall the children <01121> of Judah <03063> and the children <01121> of Israel <03478> be gathered <06908> (8738) together <03162>_, and appoint <07760> (8804) themselves one <0259> head <07218>_, and they shall come up <05927> (8804) out of the land <0776>_: for great <01419> [shall be] the day <03117> of Jezreel <03157>_.
