1	The word1697 of the LORD3068 that came unto Hosea1954 , the son1121 of Beeri882 , in the days3117 of Uzziah5818 , Jotham3147 , Ahaz271 , and Hezekiah3169 , kings4428 of Judah3063 , and in the days3117 of Jeroboam3379 the son1121 of Joash3101 , king4428 of Israel3478 .
			2	The beginning8462 of the word1696 8763 of the LORD3068 by Hosea1954 . And the LORD3068 said559 8799 to Hosea1954 , Go3212 8798 , take3947 8798 unto thee a wife802 of whoredoms2183 and children3206 of whoredoms2183 : for the land776 hath committed great2181 8800 whoredom2181 8799 , departing from310 the LORD3068 .
			3	So he went3212 8799 and took3947 8799 Gomer1586 the daughter1323 of Diblaim1691 ; which conceived2029 8799 , and bare3205 8799 him a son1121 .
			4	And the LORD3068 said559 8799 unto him, Call7121 8798 his name8034 Jezreel3157 ; for yet a little4592 while , and I will avenge6485 8804 the blood1818 of Jezreel3157 upon the house1004 of Jehu3058 , and will cause to cease7673 8689 the kingdom4468 of the house1004 of Israel3478 . [avenge: Heb. visit]
			5	And it shall come to pass at that day3117 , that I will break7665 8804 the bow7198 of Israel3478 in the valley6010 of Jezreel3157 .
			6	And she conceived again2029 8799 , and bare3205 8799 a daughter1323 . And God said559 8799 unto him, Call7121 8798 her name8034 Loruhamah3819 8795 : for I will no more3254 8686 have mercy7355 8762 upon the house1004 of Israel3478 ; but I will utterly5375 8800 take them away5375 8799 . [Loruhamah: that is, Not having obtained mercy] [no...: Heb. not add any more to] [but...: or, that I should altogether pardon them]
			7	But I will have mercy7355 8762 upon the house1004 of Judah3063 , and will save3467 8689 them by the LORD3068 their God430 , and will not save3467 8686 them by bow7198 , nor by sword2719 , nor by battle4421 , by horses5483 , nor by horsemen6571 .
			8	Now when she had weaned1580 8799 Loruhamah3819 8795 , she conceived2029 8799 , and bare3205 8799 a son1121 .
			9	Then said559 8799 God , Call7121 8798 his name8034 Loammi3818 : for ye are not my people5971 , and I will not be your God . [Loammi: that is, Not my people]
			10	Yet the number4557 of the children1121 of Israel3478 shall be as the sand2344 of the sea3220 , which cannot be measured4058 8735 nor numbered5608 8735 ; and it shall come to pass, that in the place4725 where it was said559 8735 unto them, Ye are not my people5971 , there it shall be said559 8735 unto them, Ye are the sons1121 of the living2416 God410 . [in...: or, instead of that]
			11	Then shall the children1121 of Judah3063 and the children1121 of Israel3478 be gathered6908 8738 together3162 , and appoint7760 8804 themselves one259 head7218 , and they shall come up5927 8804 out of the land776 : for great1419 shall be the day3117 of Jezreel3157 .
