1:1 | The word <01697> of the LORD <03068> that came unto Hosea <01954>, the son <01121> of Beeri <0882>, in the days <03117> of Uzziah <05818>, Jotham <03147>, Ahaz <0271>, [and] Hezekiah <03169>, kings <04428> of Judah <03063>, and in the days <03117> of Jeroboam <03379> the son <01121> of Joash <03101>, king <04428> of Israel <03478>. |
1:2 | The beginning <08462> of the word <01696> (8763) of the LORD <03068> by Hosea <01954>. And the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799) to Hosea <01954>, Go <03212> (8798), take <03947> (8798) unto thee a wife <0802> of whoredoms <02183> and children <03206> of whoredoms <02183>: for the land <0776> hath committed great <02181> (8800) whoredom <02181> (8799), [departing] from <0310> the LORD <03068>. |
1:3 | So he went <03212> (8799) and took <03947> (8799) Gomer <01586> the daughter <01323> of Diblaim <01691>; which conceived <02029> (8799), and bare <03205> (8799) him a son <01121>. |
1:4 | And the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799) unto him, Call <07121> (8798) his name <08034> Jezreel <03157>; for yet a little <04592> [while], and I will avenge <06485> (8804) the blood <01818> of Jezreel <03157> upon the house <01004> of Jehu <03058>, and will cause to cease <07673> (8689) the kingdom <04468> of the house <01004> of Israel <03478>. {avenge: Heb. visit} |
1:5 | And it shall come to pass at that day <03117>, that I will break <07665> (8804) the bow <07198> of Israel <03478> in the valley <06010> of Jezreel <03157>. |
1:6 | And she conceived again <02029> (8799), and bare <03205> (8799) a daughter <01323>. And [God] said <0559> (8799) unto him, Call <07121> (8798) her name <08034> Loruhamah <03819> (8795): for I will no more <03254> (8686) have mercy <07355> (8762) upon the house <01004> of Israel <03478>; but I will utterly <05375> (8800) take them away <05375> (8799). {Loruhamah: that is, Not having obtained mercy} {no...: Heb. not add any more to} {but...: or, that I should altogether pardon them} |
1:7 | But I will have mercy <07355> (8762) upon the house <01004> of Judah <03063>, and will save <03467> (8689) them by the LORD <03068> their God <0430>, and will not save <03467> (8686) them by bow <07198>, nor by sword <02719>, nor by battle <04421>, by horses <05483>, nor by horsemen <06571>. |
1:8 | Now when she had weaned <01580> (8799) Loruhamah <03819> (8795), she conceived <02029> (8799), and bare <03205> (8799) a son <01121>. |
1:9 | Then said <0559> (8799) [God], Call <07121> (8798) his name <08034> Loammi <03818>: for ye [are] not my people <05971>, and I will not be your [God]. {Loammi: that is, Not my people} |
1:10 | Yet the number <04557> of the children <01121> of Israel <03478> shall be as the sand <02344> of the sea <03220>, which cannot be measured <04058> (8735) nor numbered <05608> (8735); and it shall come to pass, [that] in the place <04725> where it was said <0559> (8735) unto them, Ye [are] not my people <05971>, [there] it shall be said <0559> (8735) unto them, [Ye are] the sons <01121> of the living <02416> God <0410>. {in...: or, instead of that} |
1:11 | Then shall the children <01121> of Judah <03063> and the children <01121> of Israel <03478> be gathered <06908> (8738) together <03162>, and appoint <07760> (8804) themselves one <0259> head <07218>, and they shall come up <05927> (8804) out of the land <0776>: for great <01419> [shall be] the day <03117> of Jezreel <03157>. |
