1:1 The word of the LORD that came unto 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.
1:2 The beginning of the word of the LORD by Hosea. And the LORD said to Hosea, Go, take
unto thee a wife of whoredoms and children of whoredoms: for the land hath committed great
whoredom, departing from the LORD.
1:3 So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; which conceived, and bare him a
son.
1:4 And the LORD said unto him, Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will
avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause to cease the kingdom of
the house of Israel.
1:5 And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel, in the
valley of Jezreel.
1:6 And she conceived again, and bare a daughter. And God said unto him, Call her name
Loruhamah: for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel; but I will utterly take
them away.
1:7 But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by the LORD their
God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by
horsemen.
1:8 Now when she had weaned Loruhamah, she conceived, and bare a son.
1:9 Then said God, Call his name Loammi: for ye are not my people, and I will not be your
God.
1:10 Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which
cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was
said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of
the living God.
1:11 Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together, and
appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up out of the land: for great shall be
the day of Jezreel.
