Hosea 1:1-4

Hosea 1:1-4 CSB

The word of the Lord that came to Hosea son of Beeri during the reigns of Uzziah,  Jotham,  Ahaz,  and Hezekiah,  kings of Judah, and of Jeroboam  son of Jehoash, king of Israel. When the Lord first spoke to Hosea, he said this to him: Go and marry a woman of promiscuity,  and have children of promiscuity, for the land is committing blatant acts of promiscuity by abandoning the  Lord. So he went and married Gomer daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son.  Then the Lord said to him: Name him Jezreel,  , for in a little while I will bring the bloodshed of Jezreel  on the house of Jehu  and put an end to the kingdom of the house of Israel.
