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.

Hosea 1
1
1The word of the Lord that came to Hosea the son of Beeri, in the days of #2 Chr. 26; Is. 1:1; Amos 1:1Uzziah, #2 Kin. 15:5, 7, 32–38; 2 Chr. 27; Mic. 1:1Jotham, #2 Kin. 16:1–20; 2 Chr. 28Ahaz, and #2 Kin. 18—20; 2 Chr. 29:1—32:33; Mic. 1:1Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of #2 Kin. 13:13; 14:23–29; Amos 1:1Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.
The Family of Hosea
2When the Lord began to speak by Hosea, the Lord said to Hosea:
#Hos. 3:1“Go, take yourself a wife of harlotry
And children of harlotry,
For #Deut. 31:16; Judg. 2:17; Ps. 73:27; Jer. 2:13; Ezek. 16:1–59; 23:1–49the land has committed great harlotry
By departing from the Lord.”
3So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son. 4Then the Lord said to him:
“Call his name Jezreel,
For in a little while
#2 Kin. 10:11I will avenge the bloodshed of Jezreel on the house of Jehu,
#2 Kin. 15:8–10; 17:6, 23; 18:11And bring an end to the kingdom of the house of Israel.
5#2 Kin. 15:29It shall come to pass in that day
That I will break the bow of Israel in the Valley of Jezreel.”
6And she conceived again and bore a daughter. Then God said to him:
“Call her name Lo-Ruhamah,
#2 Kin. 17:6For I will no longer have mercy on the house of Israel,
But I will utterly take them away.
7#2 Kin. 19:29–35; Is. 30:18; 37:36, 37Yet I will have mercy on the house of Judah,
Will save them by the Lord their God,
And #Ps. 44:3–7; (Zech. 4:6)will not save them by bow,
Nor by sword or battle,
By horses or horsemen.”
8Now when she had weaned Lo-Ruhamah, she conceived and bore a son. 9Then God said:
“Call his name Lo-Ammi,
For you are not My people,
And I will not be your God.
The Restoration of Israel
10“Yet #Gen. 22:17; 32:12; Jer. 33:22the number of the children of Israel
Shall be as the sand of the sea,
Which cannot be measured or numbered.
#1 Pet. 2:10And it shall come to pass
In the place where it was said to them,
‘You are not My #Rom. 9:26people,’
There it shall be said to them,
‘You are #Is. 63:16; 64:8; (John 1:12)sons of the living God.’
11#Is. 11:11–13; Jer. 3:18; 50:4; (Ezek. 34:23; 37:15–28)Then the children of Judah and the children of Israel
Shall be gathered together,
And appoint for themselves one head;
And they shall come up out of the land,
For great will be the day of Jezreel!
