Hosea 1:1--3:5

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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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}
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>_.
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}
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>_.
Now when she had weaned
<01580> (8799)
Loruhamah
<03819> (8795)_,
she conceived
<02029> (8799)_,
and bare
<03205> (8799)
a son
<01121>_.
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}
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}
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>_.
Say
<0559> (8798)
ye unto your brethren
<0251>_,
Ammi
<05971>_;
and to your sisters
<0269>_,
Ruhamah
<07355> (8795)_.
{Ammi: that is, My people} {Ruhamah: that is, Having obtained mercy}
Plead
<07378> (8798)
with your mother
<0517>_,
plead
<07378> (8798)_:
for she [is] not my wife
<0802>_,
neither [am] I her husband
<0376>_:
let her therefore put away
<05493> (8686)
her whoredoms
<02183>
out of her sight
<06440>_,
and her adulteries
<05005>
from between her breasts
<07699>_;
Lest I strip
<06584> (8686)
her naked
<06174>_,
and set
<03322> (8689)
her as in the day
<03117>
that she was born
<03205> (8736)_,
and make
<07760> (8804)
her as a wilderness
<04057>_,
and set
<07896> (8804)
her like a dry
<06723>
land
<0776>_,
and slay
<04191> (8689)
her with thirst
<06772>_.
And I will not have mercy
<07355> (8762)
upon her children
<01121>_;
for they [be] the children
<01121>
of whoredoms
<02183>_.
For their mother
<0517>
hath played the harlot
<02181> (8804)_:
she that conceived
<02029> (8802)
them hath done shamefully
<03001> (8689)_:
for she said
<0559> (8804)_,
I will go
<03212> (8799)
after
<0310>
my lovers
<0157> (8764)_,
that give
<05414> (8802)
[me] my bread
<03899>
and my water
<04325>_,
my wool
<06785>
and my flax
<06593>_,
mine oil
<08081>
and my drink
<08250>_.
{drink: Heb. drinks}
Therefore, behold, I will hedge
<07753> (8801)
up thy way
<01870>
with thorns
<05518>_,
and make
<01443> (8804)
a wall
<01447>_,
that she shall not find
<04672> (8799)
her paths
<05410>_.
{make...: Heb. wall a wall}
And she shall follow
<07291> (8765)
after her lovers
<0157> (8764)_,
but she shall not overtake
<05381> (8686)
them; and she shall seek
<01245> (8765)
them, but shall not find
<04672> (8799)
[them]: then shall she say
<0559> (8804)_,
I will go
<03212> (8799)
and return
<07725> (8799)
to my first
<07223>
husband
<0376>_;
for then [was it] better
<02896>
with me than now
<06258>_.
For she did not know
<03045> (8804)
that I gave
<05414> (8804)
her corn
<01715>_,
and wine
<08492>_,
and oil
<03323>_,
and multiplied
<07235> (8689)
her silver
<03701>
and gold
<02091>_,
[which] they prepared
<06213> (8804)
for Baal
<01168>_.
{wine: Heb. new wine} {which...: or, wherewith they made Baal}
Therefore will I return
<07725> (8799)_,
and take away
<03947> (8804)
my corn
<01715>
in the time
<06256>
thereof, and my wine
<08492>
in the season
<04150>
thereof, and will recover
<05337> (8689)
my wool
<06785>
and my flax
<06593>
[given] to cover
<03680> (8763)
her nakedness
<06172>_.
{recover: or, take away}
And now will I discover
<01540> (8762)
her lewdness
<05040>
in the sight
<05869>
of her lovers
<0157> (8764)_,
and none
<0376>
shall deliver
<05337> (8686)
her out of mine hand
<03027>_.
{lewdness: Heb. folly, or, villany}
I will also cause all her mirth
<04885>
to cease
<07673> (8689)_,
her feast days
<02282>_,
her new moons
<02320>_,
and her sabbaths
<07676>_,
and all her solemn feasts
<04150>_.
And I will destroy
<08074> (8689)
her vines
<01612>
and her fig trees
<08384>_,
whereof she hath said
<0559> (8804)_,
These [are] my rewards
<0866>
that my lovers
<0157> (8764)
have given
<05414> (8804)
me: and I will make
<07760> (8804)
them a forest
<03293>_,
and the beasts
<02416>
of the field
<07704>
shall eat
<0398> (8804)
them. {destroy: Heb. make desolate}
And I will visit
<06485> (8804)
upon her the days
<03117>
of Baalim
<01168>_,
wherein she burned incense
<06999> (8686)
to them, and she decked
<05710> (8799)
herself with her earrings
<05141>
and her jewels
<02484>_,
and she went
<03212> (8799)
after
<0310>
her lovers
<0157> (8764)_,
and forgat
<07911> (8804)
me, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
Therefore, behold, I will allure
<06601> (8764)
her, and bring
<03212> (8689)
her into the wilderness
<04057>_,
and speak
<01696> (8765)
comfortably
<03820>
unto her. {comfortably: or, friendly: Heb. to her heart}
And I will give
<05414> (8804)
her her vineyards
<03754>
from thence, and the valley
<06010>
of Achor
<05911>
for a door
<06607>
of hope
<08615>_:
and she shall sing
<06030> (8804)
there, as in the days
<03117>
of her youth
<05271>_,
and as in the day
<03117>
when she came up
<05927> (8800)
out of the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_.
And it shall be at that day
<03117>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
[that] thou shalt call
<07121> (8799)
me Ishi
<0376>_;
and shalt call
<07121> (8799)
me no more Baali
<01180>_.
{Ishi: that is, My husband} {Baali: that is, My lord}
For I will take away
<05493> (8689)
the names
<08034>
of Baalim
<01168>
out of her mouth
<06310>_,
and they shall no more be remembered
<02142> (8735)
by their name
<08034>_.
And in that day
<03117>
will I make
<03772> (8804)
a covenant
<01285>
for them with the beasts
<02416>
of the field
<07704>_,
and with the fowls
<05775>
of heaven
<08064>_,
and [with] the creeping things
<07431>
of the ground
<0127>_:
and I will break
<07665> (8799)
the bow
<07198>
and the sword
<02719>
and the battle
<04421>
out of the earth
<0776>_,
and will make them to lie down
<07901> (8689)
safely
<0983>_.
And I will betroth
<0781> (8765)
thee unto me for ever
<05769>_;
yea, I will betroth
<0781> (8765)
thee unto me in righteousness
<06664>_,
and in judgment
<04941>_,
and in lovingkindness
<02617>_,
and in mercies
<07356>_.
I will even betroth
<0781> (8765)
thee unto me in faithfulness
<0530>_:
and thou shalt know
<03045> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_.
And it shall come to pass in that day
<03117>_,
I will hear
<06030> (8799)_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
I will hear
<06030> (8799)
the heavens
<08064>_,
and they shall hear
<06030> (8799)
the earth
<0776>_;
And the earth
<0776>
shall hear
<06030> (8799)
the corn
<01715>_,
and the wine
<08492>_,
and the oil
<03323>_;
and they shall hear
<06030> (8799)
Jezreel
<03157>_.
And I will sow
<02232> (8804)
her unto me in the earth
<0776>_;
and I will have mercy
<07355> (8765)
upon her that had not obtained mercy
<07355> (8795) (8677) <03818>_;
and I will say
<0559> (8804)
to [them which were] not my people
<05971>_,
Thou [art] my people
<05971>_;
and they shall say
<0559> (8799)_,
[Thou art] my God
<0430>_.
Then said
<0559> (8799)
the LORD
<03068>
unto me, Go
<03212> (8798)
yet, love
<0157> (8798)
a woman
<0802>
beloved
<0157> (8803)
of [her] friend
<07453>_,
yet an adulteress
<05003> (8764)_,
according to the love
<0160>
of the LORD
<03068>
toward the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_,
who look
<06437> (8802)
to other
<0312>
gods
<0430>_,
and love
<0157> (8802)
flagons
<0809>
of wine
<06025>_.
{of wine: Heb. of grapes}
So I bought
<03739> (8799)
her to me for fifteen
<06240> <02568>
[pieces] of silver
<03701>_,
and [for] an homer
<02563>
of barley
<08184>_,
and an half homer
<03963>
of barley
<08184>_:
{half...: Heb. lethech}
And I said
<0559> (8799)
unto her, Thou shalt abide
<03427> (8799)
for me many
<07227>
days
<03117>_;
thou shalt not play the harlot
<02181> (8799)_,
and thou shalt not be
<01961> (8799)
for [another] man
<0376>_:
so [will] I also [be] for thee.
For the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
shall abide
<03427> (8799)
many
<07227>
days
<03117>
without a king
<04428>_,
and without a prince
<08269>_,
and without a sacrifice
<02077>_,
and without an image
<04676>_,
and without an ephod
<0646>_,
and [without] teraphim
<08655>_:
{image: Heb. a standing, or, statue, or, pillar}
Afterward
<0310>
shall the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
return
<07725> (8799)_,
and seek
<01245> (8765)
the LORD
<03068>
their God
<0430>_,
and David
<01732>
their king
<04428>_;
and shall fear
<06342> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
and his goodness
<02898>
in the latter
<0319>
days
<03117>_.
