Hosea 1
1
1The word of the Lord that came to Hosea the son of Beeri, in the days of #2 Chr. 26; Is. 1:1; Amos 1:1Uzziah, #2 Kin. 15:5, 7, 32–38; 2 Chr. 27; Mic. 1:1Jotham, #2 Kin. 16:1–20; 2 Chr. 28Ahaz, and #2 Kin. 18—20; 2 Chr. 29:1—32:33; Mic. 1:1Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of #2 Kin. 13:13; 14:23–29; Amos 1:1Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.
The Family of Hosea
2When the Lord began to speak by Hosea, the Lord said to Hosea:
#Hos. 3:1“Go, take yourself a wife of harlotry
And children of harlotry,
For #Deut. 31:16; Judg. 2:17; Ps. 73:27; Jer. 2:13; Ezek. 16:1–59; 23:1–49the land has committed great harlotry
By departing from the Lord.”
3So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son. 4Then the Lord said to him:
“Call his name Jezreel,
For in a little while
#2 Kin. 10:11I will avenge the bloodshed of Jezreel on the house of Jehu,
#2 Kin. 15:8–10; 17:6, 23; 18:11And bring an end to the kingdom of the house of Israel.
5#2 Kin. 15:29It shall come to pass in that day
That I will break the bow of Israel in the Valley of Jezreel.”
6And she conceived again and bore a daughter. Then God said to him:
“Call her name Lo-Ruhamah,
#2 Kin. 17:6For I will no longer have mercy on the house of Israel,
But I will utterly take them away.
7#2 Kin. 19:29–35; Is. 30:18; 37:36, 37Yet I will have mercy on the house of Judah,
Will save them by the Lord their God,
And #Ps. 44:3–7; (Zech. 4:6)will not save them by bow,
Nor by sword or battle,
By horses or horsemen.”
8Now when she had weaned Lo-Ruhamah, she conceived and bore a son. 9Then God said:
“Call his name Lo-Ammi,
For you are not My people,
And I will not be your God.
The Restoration of Israel
10“Yet #Gen. 22:17; 32:12; Jer. 33:22the number of the children of Israel
Shall be as the sand of the sea,
Which cannot be measured or numbered.
#1 Pet. 2:10And it shall come to pass
In the place where it was said to them,
‘You are not My #Rom. 9:26people,’
There it shall be said to them,
‘You are #Is. 63:16; 64:8; (John 1:12)sons of the living God.’
11#Is. 11:11–13; Jer. 3:18; 50:4; (Ezek. 34:23; 37:15–28)Then the children of Judah and the children of Israel
Shall be gathered together,
And appoint for themselves one head;
And they shall come up out of the land,
For great will be the day of Jezreel!

Hoshĕa (Hosea) 1
1
1The word of יהוה that came to Hoshĕa son of Be’ĕri, in the days of Uzziyah, Yotham, Aḥaz, and Yeḥizqiyah, sovereigns of Yehuḏah, and in the days of Yaroḇ‛am son of Yo’ash, sovereign of Yisra’ĕl.
2The beginning of the word of יהוה with Hoshĕa. And יהוה said to Hoshĕa, “Go, take yourself a woman of whoring and children of whoring, for the land has utterly whored away from יהוה.”
3So he went and took Gomer, daughter of Diḇlayim, and she conceived and bore him a son.
4And יהוה said to him, “Call his name Yizre‛ĕl, for in a little while I shall revenge the bloodshed of Yizre‛ĕl on the house of Yĕhu, and put an end to the reign of the house of Yisra’ĕl.
5“And it shall be in that day that I shall break the bow of Yisra’ĕl in the Valley of Yizre‛ĕl.”
6And she conceived again and bore a daughter. And He said to him, “Call her name Lo-Ruḥamah, for no longer do I have compassion on the house of Yisra’ĕl so as to forgive them at all.
7“But I shall have compassion on the house of Yehuḏah and save them by יהוה their Elohim, and not save them by bow or by sword or battle, by horses or horsemen.”
8And she weaned Lo-Ruḥamah, and conceived and bore a son,
9then He said, “Call his name Lo-Ammi, for you are not My people, and I am not for you.
10“Yet the number of the children of Yisra’ĕl shall be as the sand of the sea, which is not measured nor counted. And it shall be in the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not My people,’ they shall be called, ‘You are the sons of the living Ěl.’
11“And the children of Yehuḏah and the children of Yisra’ĕl shall be gathered together, and appoint for themselves one head, and shall come up out of the earth, for great is the day of Yizre‛ĕl!
