The word of the LORD that came to Hosea son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam son of Joash, king of Israel.
The beginning of the word of the LORD by Hosea. And the LORD said to Hosea, “Go, take for yourself a wife of whorings and children of whorings, for the land surely whores away from following the LORD.”
And he went and took Gomer daughter of Diblaim; and she conceived and bore him a son.
And the LORD said to him, “Call his name Jezreel, for yet a little while and I will attend to the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and I will make the kingdom of the house of Israel cease.
And it will be in that day that I will break the bow of Israel in the Valley of Jezreel.”
And she conceived again and bore a daughter. And he said to him, “Call her name Not Shown Compassion, for I will no longer show compassion to the house of Israel, that I should surely forgive them.
But to the house of Judah I will show compassion, and I will save them by the LORD their God; and I will not save them by bow, or by sword, or by battle, by horses, or by horsemen.”
And she weaned Not Shown Compassion, and she conceived and bore a son.
And he said, “Call his name Not My People, for you are not my people, and I will not be yours.
Yet the number of the sons of Israel will be like the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured and cannot be counted. And it will be that in the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ it will be said to them, ‘Sons of the living God.’
And the sons of Judah and the sons of Israel will be gathered together, and they will set for themselves one head, and they will go up from the land — for great will be the day of Jezreel.”
