Hosea 1
Jewish Publication Society 1917 · Berean Standard Bible
The word of the LORD that came unto 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.
This is the word of the LORD that came to Hosea son of Beeri in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and of Jeroboam son of Jehoash (note: Hebrew Joash, a variant of Jehoash), king of Israel.
When the LORD spoke at first with Hosea, the LORD said unto Hosea: ‘Go, take unto thee a wife of harlotry and children of harlotry; for the land doth commit great harlotry, departing from the LORD.’
When the LORD first spoke through Hosea, He told him, “Go, take a prostitute as your wife and have children of adultery, because this land is flagrantly prostituting itself by departing from the LORD.”
So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; and she conceived, and bore him a son.
So Hosea went and married Gomer daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son.
And the LORD said unto him: ‘Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will visit the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.
Then the LORD said to Hosea, “Name him Jezreel (note: Jezreel means God sows; also in verse 11.), for soon I will bring the bloodshed of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and I will put an end to the kingdom of Israel.
And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.’
And on that day I will break the bow of Israel in the Valley of Jezreel.”
And she conceived again, and bore a daughter. And He said unto him: ‘Call her name Lo-ruhamah (note: That is, That hath not obtained compassion.); for I will no more have compassion upon the house of Israel, that I should in any wise pardon them.
Gomer again conceived and gave birth to a daughter, and the LORD said to Hosea, “Name her Lo-ruhamah (note: Lo-ruhamah means she has not received mercy.), for I will no longer have compassion on the house of Israel, that I should ever forgive them.
But I will have compassion upon the house of Judah, and will save them by the LORD their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, nor by horses, nor by horsemen.’
Yet I will have compassion on the house of Judah, and I will save them—not by bow or sword or war, not by horses and cavalry, but by the LORD their God.”
Now when she had weaned Lo-ruhamah, she conceived, and bore a son.
After she had weaned Lo-ruhamah, Gomer conceived and gave birth to a son.
And He said: ‘Call his name Lo-ammi (note: That is, Not My people.); for ye are not My people, and I will not be yours.’
And the LORD said, “Name him Lo-ammi (note: Lo-ammi means not My people.), for you are not My people, and I am not your God.
