ASV_Strong : Hosea 1
1. The word[H1697] of Jehovah[H3068] that came unto Hosea[H1954] the son[H1121] of Beeri[H882], in the days[H3117] of Uzziah[H5818], Jotham[H3147], Ahaz[H271], and Hezekiah[H3169], kings[H4428] of Judah[H3063], and in the days[H3117] of Jeroboam[H3379] the son[H1121] of Joash[H3101], king[H4428] of Israel[H3478].
2. When Jehovah[H3068] spake[H559] at the first[H8462] by Hosea[H1954], Jehovah[H3068] said[H559] unto Hosea[H1954], Go[H3212], take[H3947] unto thee a wife[H802] of whoredom[H2183] and children[H3206] of whoredom[H2181]; for the land[H776] doth commit great[H2181] whoredom[H2181], departing from[H310] Jehovah[H3068].
3. So he went[H3212] and took[H3947] Gomer[H1586] the daughter[H1323] of Diblaim[H1691]; and she conceived[H2029], and bare[H3205] him a son[H1121].
4. And Jehovah[H3068] said[H559] unto him[H7121], Call his name[H8034] Jezreel[H3157]; for yet a little[H4592] while[H6485], and I will avenge the blood[H1818] of Jezreel[H3157] upon the house[H1004] of Jehu[H3058], and will cause the kingdom[H4468] of the house[H1004] of Israel[H3478] to cease[H7673].
5. And it shall come to pass at that day[H3117], that I will break[H7665] the bow[H7198] of Israel[H3478] in the valley[H6010] of Jezreel[H3157].
6. And she conceived again[H2029], and bare[H3205] a daughter[H1323]. And Jehovah said[H559] unto him[H7121], Call her name[H8034] Lo-ruhamah[H3819]; for I will no more[H3254] have mercy[H7355] upon the house[H1004] of Israel[H3478], that I should[H5375] in any wise pardon them[H5375].
7. But I will have mercy[H7355] upon the house[H1004] of Judah[H3063], and will save[H3467] them by Jehovah[H3068] their God[H430], and will not save[H3467] them by bow[H7198], nor by sword[H2719], nor by battle[H4421], by horses[H5483], nor by horsemen[H6571].
8. Now when she had weaned[H1580] Lo-ruhamah[H3819], she conceived[H2029], and bare[H3205] a son[H1121].
9. And Jehovah said[H559], Call[H7121] his name[H8034] Lo-ammi[H3818]; for ye are not my people[H5971], and I will not be your God.
10. Yet the number[H4557] of the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] shall be as the sand[H2344] of the sea[H3220], which cannot be measured[H4058] nor numbered[H5608]; and it shall come to pass that[H4725], in the place where it was said[H559] unto them[H5971], Ye are not my people, it shall be said[H559] unto them[H1121], Ye are the sons of the living[H2416] God[H410].
11. And the children[H1121] of Judah[H3063] and the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] shall be gathered[H6908] together[H3162], and they shall appoint[H7760] themselves one[H259] head[H7218], and shall go up[H5927] from the land[H776]; for great[H1419] shall be the day[H3117] of Jezreel[H3157].
