But go thou
thy way till the end
be:
for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.
Hosea
CHAPTER 1
The word of the L
ORD
that came unto Hosea, the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz,
and
Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.
2
The
beginning of the word of the L
ORD
by Hosea. And the L
ORD
said to Hosea, Go, take unto thee a
wife of whoredoms and children of whoredoms: for the land hath committed great whoredom,
departing
from the L
ORD

So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; which conceived,
and bare him a son.
4
And the L
ORD
said unto him, Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little
while,
and
I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause to cease the kingdom of
the house of Israel.
5
And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the
valley of Jezreel.
6
And she conceived again, and bare a daughter. And
God
said unto him, Call her name
