This is the beginning of what YAHWEH spoke through Hosea. YAHWEH said to me, “Go and marry an adulterous woman and have children of adultery because the people of the land are adulterers. They have forsaken me.” So I married a woman named Gomer, Diblaim’s daughter. She became pregnant and bore a son. YAHWEH said to me, “Name him Jezreel because it will not be long before I punish the dynasty of Jehu for the massacre at Jezreel and then destroy the kingdom of Israel. At that time, I will smash Israel’s military power in the Valley of Jezreel.” Later, Gomer became pregnant again and gave birth to a daughter. YAHWEH said to me: “Name her No-Tender-Mercy because I will no longer have tender mercy on the nation of Israel. I will certainly not forgive them. I will, however, have compassion on the nation of Judah. “I will rescue them! I will not give them victory through their weapons and military might. It will not be their horsemen and chariots that deliver them. I, YAHWEH their God, will save them!” After Gomer weaned her daughter, No-Tender-Mercy, she became pregnant again and gave birth to a son. Then YAHWEH said to me, “Name him Not-My-People because you, Israel, are not mine anymore, and I am not yours.”
