Hosea 1:2 - 1:9

« Daniel 12 | Hosea 1 | Hosea 2 »

2 When Yahweh first spoke through Hosea, Yahweh said to Hosea, “Go, take for yourself a wife of harlotry and have children of harlotry; for the land commits flagrant harlotry, forsaking Yahweh.” 3 So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and gave birth to a son for him. 4 And Yahweh said to him, “Name him Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will visit the bloodshed of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and I will cause the kingdom of the house of Israel to cease. 5 And it will be in that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.” 6 Then she conceived again and gave birth to a daughter. And Yahweh said to him, “Name her Lo-ruhamah, for I will no longer have compassion on the house of Israel, that I would ever forgive them. 7 But I will have compassion on the house of Judah and save them by Yahweh their God, and I will not save them by bow, sword, battle, horses, or horsemen.” 8 Then she weaned Lo-ruhamah. And she conceived and gave birth to a son. 9 And Yahweh said, “Name him Lo-ammi, for you are not My people, and I am not your God.”
