Hoshea - Hosea - Chapter 1

Chapter 1

1. The word of the Lord which came to Hosea the son of Beeri in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, [and] Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel.		א.
2. At the beginning of the Lord's speaking to Hosea, the Lord said to Hosea: Go, take yourself a wife of harlotry and children of harlotry, for the land goes astray from following the Lord.		ב.
3. And he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son.		ג.
4. And the Lord said to him: Name him Jezreel, for, in a short time, I will visit the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and I will terminate the kingdom of the house of Israel.		ד.
5. And it shall come to pass on that day that I will break the bow of Israel in the Valley of Jezreel.		ה.
6. And she conceived again and bore a daughter, and He said to him: Name her Lo-ruhamah, for I will not continue to grant clemency to the house of Israel, but I will mete out their portion to them.		ו.
7. But to the house of Judah will I grant clemency, and I will save them by the Lord their God, but I will not save them with the bow, with the sword, with war, with steeds, or with riders.		ז.
8. And she weaned Lo-ruhamah, and she conceived and bore a son.		ח.
9. And He said: Name him Lo-ammi, for you are not My people, and I will not be yours.		ט.
