Hosea 1
1
1 The word of the Lord that came to 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 Lord's conversation with Hosea. And the Lord said to Hosea: "Go, take to yourself a wife of fornications, and make for yourself sons of fornications, because, by fornicating, the land will fornicate away from the Lord."
3 And he went out and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; and she conceived and bore him a son.
4 And the Lord said to him: "Call his name Jezreel because, after a little while, I will visit the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and I will put the kingdom of the house of Israel to rest.
5 And in that day, I will crush the stronghold of Israel in the valley of Jezreel."
6 And after a while, she conceived and bore a daughter. And he said to him: "Call her name, Without Mercy, for I will no longer have mercy on the house of Israel, but I will utterly forget them.
7 Yet I will have mercy on the house of Judah, and I will save them by the Lord their God. And I will not save them by bow and sword and battle and horses and horsemen."
8 And she weaned her, who was called Without Mercy. And she conceived and bore a son.
9 And he said: "Call his name, Not My People, for you are not my people, and I will not be yours.
10 And the number of the sons of Israel will be like the sand of the sea, which is without measure and cannot be numbered. And in the place where it will be said to them, 'You are not my people,' this will happen: it will be said to them, 'You are the sons of the living God.'
11 And the sons of Judah, and the sons of Israel, will be gathered together. And they will place over themselves one head, and they will rise up from the earth, for great is the day of Jezreel."

Hosea’s Marriage and Children
2When the Lord first spoke to Hosea, He said this to him:
Go and marry a promiscuous wife # Hs 3:1
and have children of promiscuity,
for the land is committing blatant acts of promiscuity
by abandoning the Lord.
3So he went and married Gomer daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son. # Ezk 23:4 4Then the Lord said to him:
Name him Jezreel, # Hs 2:22 for in a little while
I will bring the bloodshed of Jezreel # 2Kg 9:24–10:11
on the house of Jehu # 2Kg 9:7; 10:30; 15:10
and put an end to the kingdom of the house of Israel.
5On that day I will break the bow of Israel # Gn 49:24; Jb 29:20; Jr 49:35
in the Valley of Jezreel. # = God sows # Jos 17:16; Jdg 6:33
6She conceived again and gave birth to a daughter, and the Lord said to him:
Name her No Compassion, # Or Lo-ruhamah
for I will no longer have compassion
on the house of Israel.
I will certainly take them away.
7But I will have compassion on the house of Judah, # Is 30:18
and I will deliver them by the Lord their God. # Jr 25:5-6; Zch 9:9-10
I will not deliver them by bow, sword, or war,
or by horses and cavalry. # Ps 44:3-7
8After Gomer had weaned No Compassion, she conceived and gave birth to a son. 9Then the Lord said:
Name him Not My People, # Or Lo-ammi
for you are not My people,
and I will not be your God. # Lit not be yours # Ex 6:7; Lv 26:12; Jr 7:23; 11:4; 30:22; Ezk 36:28
10# Hs 2:1 in HbYet the number of the Israelites
will be like the sand of the sea, # Gn 22:17; Jr 33:22
which cannot be measured or counted.
And in the place where they were told:
You are not My people,
they will be called: Sons of the living God. # Rm 9:25-27
11And the Judeans and the Israelites
will be gathered together. # Jr 23:5-6; 50:4-5; Ezk 37:18-25; Hs 3:5
They will appoint for themselves a single ruler # Jr 30:21; Hs 3:5
and go up from # Or and flourish in ; Hb obscure the land.
For the day of Jezreel # Ezk 36:9-11 will be great.
