Hosea 1
1
1The word of the Lord that came to Hosea, the son of Beeri, #Isa. 1:1; Amos 1:1; Mic. 1:1 in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of #2 Kgs. 14:23; 15:1Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.
Hosea’s Wife and Children
2When the Lord first spoke through Hosea, the Lord said to Hosea, #[ch. 3:1] “Go, take to yourself a wife of whoredom and have #ch. 2:4 children of whoredom, for #[ch. 2:5]; See Ezek. 16:15the land commits great whoredom by forsaking the Lord.” 3So he went and took Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son.
4And the Lord said to him, “Call his name Jezreel, for in just a little while #[2 Kgs. 10:11] I will punish the house of Jehu for the blood of Jezreel, and #[Amos 7:9]I will put an end to the kingdom of the house of Israel. 5And on that day #[2 Kgs. 15:29] I will break the bow of Israel #Josh. 17:16; Judg. 6:33in the Valley of Jezreel.”
6She conceived again and bore a daughter. And the Lord said to him, #[ver. 9; ch. 2:1, 23; Rom. 9:25; 1 Pet. 2:10] “Call her name No Mercy,#1:6 Hebrew Lo-ruhama, which means she has not received mercy for #ch. 2:4; 2 Kgs. 17:6, 23I will no more have mercy on the house of Israel, to forgive them at all. 7But #[ch. 11:12; 2 Kgs. 19:35] I will have mercy on the house of Judah, and I will save them by the Lord their God. I #[ch. 2:18; Zech. 4:6; 9:10]will not save them by bow or by sword or by war or by horses or by horsemen.”
8When she had weaned No Mercy, she conceived and bore a son. 9And the Lord said, #ver. 4, 6 “Call his name Not My People,#1:9 Hebrew Lo-ammi, which means not my people for #ch. 2:23; [Lev. 26:12]you are not my people, and I am not your God.”#1:9 Hebrew I am not yours
10 # 1:10 Ch 2:1 in Hebrew Yet #[Ezek. 36:10, 37] the number of the children of Israel shall be #Gen. 22:17; See Gen. 13:16 like the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured or numbered. #Cited Rom. 9:26 And #Isa. 62:4 in the place where it was said to them, #[See ver. 9 above] “You are not my people,” it shall be said to them, #Deut. 14:1; [2 Cor. 6:18] “Children#1:10 Or Sons of #Ps. 42:2; See Josh. 3:10the living God.” 11And #Isa. 11:12, 13; Jer. 3:18; 50:4; Ezek. 34:23; Zech. 10:6; See Ezek. 37:16-24 the children of Judah and the children of Israel shall be gathered together, and #[ch. 3:5]they shall appoint for themselves one head. And they shall go up from the land, for great shall 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!
