Hosea 1Hosea’s Family1 A word of the Lord that came to Hosea, the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah and Jotham and Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam, son of Joash, king of Israel. 2 The beginning of the word of the Lord by Hosea. And the Lord said to Hosea, “Go, take for yourself a woman of fornication and children of fornication, because the land in committing fornication will commit fornication from behind the Lord.” 3 And he went 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 in a little while I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Judah, and I will put an end to the kingdom of the house of Israel. 5 And it will be in that day, I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.” 6 And she conceived again and bore a daughter. And he said to him, “Call her name ‘Not Shown Mercy,’ because I will no longer show mercy to the house of Israel, but in opposing, I will oppose them. 7 But I will have pity on the sons, and I will save them by the Lord, their God, and I will not save them by bow or by sword or by war or by horses or by horsemen.” 8 And she weaned Not Shown Mercy, and she conceived again and bore a son. 9 And He said, “Call his name ‘Not My People,’ because you are not my people and I am not yours.” The Regathering of Israel10 And the number of the sons of Israel was like the sand of the sea, which will not be measured out nor counted. And it will be, in the place where it was said to them, “You are not my people,” they will also be called, “sons of the living God.” 11 And the sons of Judah and the sons of Israel will gather together, and they will establish for themselves one empire, and they will go up from the land, because the day of Jezreel will be great.”
