1:1 The
word
of
the
Lord
that
came
vnto
Hosea,
the
sonne
of
Beeri,
in
the
dayes
of
Uzziah,
Iotham,
Ahaz,
and
Hezekiah
kings
of
Iudah,
and
in
the
dayes
of
Ieroboam
the
sonne
of
Ioash
king
of
Israel.
1:2 The
beginning
of
the
word
of
the
Lord
by
Hosea:
and
the
Lord
sayd
to
Hosea,
Goe,
take
vnto
thee
a
wife
of
whoredomes,
and
children
of
whoredomes:
for
the
land
hath
committed
great
whoredome,
departing
from
the
Lord.
1:3 So
he
went
and
tooke
Gomer
the
daughter
of
Diblaim,
which
conceiued
and
bare
him
a
sonne.
1:4 And
the
Lord
said
vnto
him,
Call
his
name
Iezreel;
for
yet
a
little
while,
and
I
will
auenge
the
blood
of
Iezreel
vpon
the
house
of
Iehu,
and
will
cause
to
cease
the
kingdome
of
the
house
of
Israel.
1:5 And
it
shall
come
to
passe
at
that
day,
that
I
will
breake
the
bow
of
Israel
in
the
valley
of
Iezreel.
1:6 And
shee
conceiued
againe
and
bare
a
daughter,
and
God
sayd
vnto
him,
Call
her
name
Lo-ruhamah:
for
I
will
no
more
haue
mercy
vpon
the
house
of
Israel:
but
I
will
vtterly
take
them
away.
1:7 But
I
will
haue
mercy
vpon
the
house
of
Iudah,
and
will
saue
them
by
the
Lord
their
God,
and
will
not
saue
them
by
vow,
nor
by
sword,
nor
by
battell,
by
horses
nor
by
horsemen.
1:8 Now
when
shee
had
weaned
Lo-ruhamah,
she
couceiued
and
bare
a
sonne.
1:9 Then
sayde
God,
Call
his
name
Lo-ammi:
for
yee
are
not
my
people,
and
I
will
not
be
your
God.
1:10 Yet
the
number
of
the
children
of
Israel
shall
be
as
the
sand
of
the
sea,
which
cannot
bee
measured
nor
numbred,
and
it
shall
come
to
passe,
that
in
the
place
where
it
was
said
vnto
them,
Yee
are
not
my
people,
there
it
shall
be
said
vnto
them,
Ye
are
the
sonnes
of
the
liuing
God.
1:11 Then
shall
the
children
of
Iudah
and
the
children
of
Israel
be
gathered
together,
and
appoint
themselues
one
head,
and
they
shall
come
vp
out
of
the
land:
for
great
shalbe
the
day
of
Iezreel.
