V.1 The word 1697 of the LORD 3068 that came unto Hosea, 1954 the son 1121 of Beeri, 882 in the days 3117 of Uzziah, 5818 Jotham, 3147 Ahaz, 271 [and] Hezekiah, 3169 kings 4428 of Judah, 3063 and in the days 3117 of Jeroboam 3379 the son 1121 of Joash, 3101 king 4428 of Israel. 3478

1:2 The beginning 8462 of the word 1696-15 of the LORD 3068 by Hosea. 1954 And the LORD 3068 said 559-4 to Hosea, 1954 Go, 3212-3 take 3947-3 unto thee a wife 802 of whoredoms 2183 and children 3206 of whoredoms: 2183 for the land 776 hath committed great 2181-2 whoredom, 2181-4 [departing] from 310 the LORD. 3068

1:3 So he went 3212-4 and took 3947-4 Gomer 1586 the daughter 1323 of Diblaim; 1691 which conceived, 2029-4 and bare 3205-4 him a son. 1121

1:4 And the LORD 3068 said 559-4 unto him, Call 7121-3 his name 8034 Jezreel; 3157 for yet a little 4592 [while], and I will avenge 6485-1 the blood 1818 of Jezreel 3157 upon the house 1004 of Jehu, 3058 and will cause to cease 7673-52 the kingdom 4468 of the house 1004 of Israel. 3478

1:5 And it shall come to pass at that day, 3117 that I will break 7665-1 the bow 7198 of Israel 3478 in the valley 6010 of Jezreel. 3157

1:6 And she conceived 2029-4 again, and bare 3205-4 a daughter. 1323 And [God] said 559-4 unto him, Call 7121-3 her name 8034 Loruhamah: 3808|7355-27|3819 for I will no 3808 more 3254-55 have mercy 7355-17 upon the house 1004 of Israel; 3478 but I will utterly 5375-2 take them away. 5375-4

1:7 But I will have mercy 7355-17 upon the house 1004 of Judah, 3063 and will save 3467-52 them by the LORD 3068 their God, 430 and will not save 3467-55 them by bow, 7198 nor by sword, 2719 nor by battle, 4421 by horses, 5483 nor by horsemen. 6571

1:8 Now when she had weaned 1580-4 Loruhamah, 3808|7355- 27|3819 she conceived, 2029-4 and bare 3205-4 a son. 1121

1:9 Then said 559-4 [God], Call 7121-3 his name 8034 Loammi: 3808|5971|3818 for ye [are] not 3808 my people, 5971 and I will not 3808 be your [God].

1:10 Yet the number 4557 of the children 1121 of Israel 3478 shall be as the sand 2344 of the sea, 3220 which cannot be measured 4058-11 nor numbered; 5608-11 and it shall come to pass, [that] in the place 4725 where it was said 559-11 unto them, Ye [are] not my people, 5971 [there] it shall be said 559-11 unto them, [Ye are] the sons 1121 of the living 2416 God. 410
