Hosea 1:2-9
2When Yahweh first spoke through Hosea, Yahweh said to Hosea, “aGo, take for yourself a wife of harlotry and have children of harlotry; for bthe land commits flagrant harlotry, 1forsaking Yahweh.” 3So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and agave birth to a son for him. 4And Yahweh said to him, “Name him aJezreel; for yet a little while, and bI will visit the bloodshed of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and cI will cause the kingdom of the house of Israel to cease. 5“And it will be in that day, that I will abreak the bow of Israel in the bvalley of Jezreel.”
6Then she conceived again and gave birth to a daughter. And 1Yahweh said to him, “Name her 2Lo-ruhamah, for I will no longer ahave compassion on the house of Israel, that I would ever forgive them. 7“But I will have acompassion on the house of Judah and bsave them by Yahweh their God, and I will not save them by cbow, sword, battle, horses, or horsemen.”
