Hosea’s Wife and Children
1 The word of the Loʀᴅ which came to ARom 9:25Hosea the son of Beeri, during the days of B2 Chr 26:1-23; Is 1:1; Amos 1:1Uzziah, C2 Kin 15:5, 7, 32-38; 2 Chr 27:1-9Jotham, D2 Kin 16:1-20; 2 Chr 28:1-27; Is 1:1; 7:1-17; Mic 1:1Ahaz and E2 Kin 18:1-20:21; 2 Chr 29:1-32:33; Mic 1:1Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and during the days of F2 Kin 13:13; 14:23-29; Amos 1:1Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.
2 When the Loʀᴅ first spoke through Hosea, the Loʀᴅ said to Hosea, “AHos 3:1Go, take to yourself a wife of harlotry and have children of harlotry; for BDeut 31:16; Jer 3:1; Ezek 23:3-21; Hos 2:5; 5:3the land commits flagrant harlotry, 1Lit from not following afterforsaking the Loʀᴅ.” 3 So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and AEzek 23:4bore him a son. 4 And the Loʀᴅ said to him, “Name him AHos 2:22Jezreel; for yet a little while, and B2 Kin 10:11I will 1Lit visit the bloodshed of Jezreel on the house of Jehupunish the house of Jehu for the bloodshed of Jezreel, and C2 Kin 15:8-10I will put an end to the kingdom of the house of Israel. 5 “On that day I will AJer 49:35; Ezek 39:3break the bow of Israel in the BJosh 17:16; Judg 6:33valley of Jezreel.”
6 Then she conceived again and gave birth to a daughter. And 1Lit Hethe Loʀᴅ said to him, “Name her 2I.e. she has not obtained compassionLo-ruhamah, for I will no longer AHos 2:4have compassion on the house of Israel, that I would ever forgive them. 7 “But I will have A2 Kin 19:29-35; Is 30:18compassion on the house of Judah and BJer 25:5, 6; Zech 9:9, 10deliver them by the Loʀᴅ their God, and will not deliver them by CPs 44:3-7; Zech 4:6bow, sword, battle, horses or horsemen.”
8 When she had weaned Lo-ruhamah, she conceived and gave birth to a son. 9 And 1Lit Hethe Loʀᴅ said, “Name him 2I.e. not my peopleLo-ammi, for you are not My people and I am not 3Lit yoursyour God.”
10 1Ch 2:1 in HebYet the number of the sons of Israel
Will be like the AGen 22:17; 32:12; Jer 33:22sand of the sea,
Which cannot be measured or numbered;
And BRom 9:26in the place
Where it is said to them,
“You are CIs 65:1; Hos 1:9not My people,”
It will be said to them,
“You are the DIs 63:16; 64:8; John 1:12; 1 Pet 2:10sons of the living God.”
11 And the AIs 11:12sons of Judah and the sons of Israel will be BJer 23:5, 6; 50:4, 5; Ezek 37:21-24gathered together,
And they will appoint for themselves CJer 30:21; Hos 3:5one leader,
And they will go up from the land,
For great will be the day of Jezreel.
