Hosea 1
1
1The word of the Lord that came to Hosea son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, # Isa 1:1; Mic 1:1 and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel. # Am 1:1
Hosea’s Wife and Children
2When the Lord first spoke by Hosea, the Lord said to Hosea: “Go, take for yourself a wife of harlotry # Dt 31:16; Hos 3:1 and children of harlotry, for the land has committed great harlotry, departing from the Lord.” 3So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim as a wife. She conceived, and bore him a son.
4The Lord said to him: “Call his name Jezreel, # 1:4 That is, May God make fertile. for in a little while, I will punish the house of Jehu for the blood of Jezreel, # 2Ki 10:7–8, 10–11 and will bring to an end the kingdom of the house of Israel. 5On that day, I will break the bow of Israel in the Valley of Jezreel.” # Jos 17:16; Jdg 6:33
6Then Gomer conceived again, and bore a daughter. And the Lord said to Hosea: “Call her name Lo-Ruhamah, # 1:6 That is, Not pitied. for I will no longer have mercy upon the house of Israel but will utterly sweep them away. # 2Ki 17:6; Hos 2:4, 23; 1Pe 2:10 7But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by the Lord their God, # 2Ki 19:35 and will not save them by bow, or by sword, or by battle, or by horses, or by horsemen.” # Zec 4:6
8When Gomer had weaned Lo-Ruhamah, she conceived, and bore a son. 9Then the Lord said: “Call his name Lo-Ammi, # 1:9 That is, Not My people. for you are not My people, and I am not your God.” # Hos 2:23; 1Pe 2:10
10Yet the number of the Israelites will be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured or numbered. # Ge 13:16 And in the place where it was said to them, “You are not My people,” there it will be said to them, “You are the sons of the living God.” 11Then will the Judahites and the Israelites be gathered together, # Isa 11:12–13 and appoint themselves one head, # Hos 3:5 and they will come up out of the land, for great will be the day of Jezreel.
