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.
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.
3
So
he
went
and
took
Gomer
the
daughter
of
Diblaim;
which
conceived,
and
bare
him
a
son.
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.
5
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
at
that
day,
that
I
will
break
the
bow
of
Israel
in
the
valley
of
Jezreel.
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.
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.
8
Now
when
she
had
weaned
Loruhamah,
she
conceived,
and
bare
a
son.
9
Then
said
[God],
Call
his
name
Loammi:
for
ye
[are]
not
my
people,
and
I
will
not
be
your
[God].
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.
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.
