1The word<1697> of the LORD<3068> which<834> came<1961> to Hosea<1954> the son<1121> of Beeri<882>, during the days<3117> of Uzziah<5818>, Jotham<3147>, Ahaz<271> and Hezekiah<2396>, kings<4428> of Judah<3063>, and during the days<3117> of Jeroboam<3379> the son<1121> of Joash<3060>, king<4428> of Israel<3478>.
2When the LORD<3068> first<8462> spoke<1696> through Hosea<1954>, the LORD<3068> said<559> to Hosea<1954>, "Go<1980>, take<3947> to yourself a wife<802> of harlotry<2183> and have children<3206> of harlotry<2183>; for the land<776> commits<2181> flagrant<2181> harlotry<2181>, forsaking<4480><310> the LORD<3068>."
3So he went<1980> and took<3947> Gomer<1586> the daughter<1323> of Diblaim<1691>, and she conceived<2029> and bore<3205> him a son<1121>.
4And the LORD<3068> said<559> to him, "Name<7121><8034> him Jezreel<3157>; for yet<5750> a little<4592> while<4592>, and I will punish<6485> the house<1004> of Jehu<3058> for the bloodshed<1818> of Jezreel<3157>, and I will put<7673> an end<7673> to the kingdom<4468> of the house<1004> of Israel<3478>.
5"On that day<3117> I will break<7665> the bow<7198> of Israel<3478> in the valley<6010> of Jezreel<3157>."
6Then she conceived<2029> again<5750> and gave<3205> birth<3205> to a daughter<1323>. And the LORD said<559> to him, "Name<7121><8034> her Lo-ruhamah<3819>, for I will no<3808> longer<3254><5750> have<7355> compassion<7355> on the house<1004> of Israel<3478>, that I would ever<5375> forgive<5375> them.
7"But I will have<7355> compassion<7355> on the house<1004> of Judah<3063> and deliver<3467> them by the LORD<3068> their God<430>, and will not deliver<3467> them by bow<7198>, sword<2719>, battle<4421>, horses<5483> or horsemen<6571>."
8When she had weaned<1580> Lo-ruhamah<3819>, she conceived<2029> and gave<3205> birth<3205> to a son<1121>.
9And the LORD said<559>, "Name<7121><8034> him Lo-ammi<3818>, for you are not My people<5971> and I am not your God."
10Yet the number<4557> of the sons<1121> of Israel<3478> Will be like the sand<2344> of the sea<3220>, Which<834> cannot<3808> be measured<4058> or numbered<5608>; And in the place<4725> Where<834> it is said<559> to them, "You are not My people<5971>," It will be said<559> to them, "You are the sons<1121> of the living<2416> God<410>."
11And the sons<1121> of Judah<3063> and the sons<1121> of Israel<3478> will be gathered<6908> together<3164>, And they will appoint<7760> for themselves one<259> leader<7218>, And they will go<5927> up from the land<776>, For great<1419> will be the day<3117> of Jezreel<3157>.
