[0] And he shall pitch his palatial tents between the sea and the glorious
holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, with none to help him. [1] The
word of the LORD that came to Hose'a the son of Be-e'ri, in the days of
Uzzi'ah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezeki'ah, kings of Judah, and in the days of
Jerobo'am the son of Jo'ash, king of Israel. [2] When the LORD first spoke
through Hose'a, the LORD said to Hose'a, "Go, take to yourself a wife of
harlotry and have children of harlotry, for the land commits great harlotry
by forsaking the LORD." [3] So he went and took Gomer the daughter of
Dibla'im, and she conceived and bore him a son. [4] And the LORD said to
him, "Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will punish the
house of Jehu for the blood of Jezreel, and I will put an end to the
kingdom of the house of Israel. [5] And on that day, I will break the bow
of Israel in the valley of Jezreel." [6] She conceived again and bore a
daughter. And the LORD said to him, "Call her name Not pitied, for I will
no more have pity on the house of Israel, to forgive them at all. [7] But I
will have pity on the house of Judah, and I will deliver them by the LORD
their God; I will not deliver them by bow, nor by sword, nor by war, nor by
horses, nor by horsemen." [8] When she had weaned Not pitied, she conceived
and bore a son. [9] And the LORD said, "Call his name Not my people, for
you are not my people and I am not your God." [10] Yet the number of the
people of Israel shall be like the sand of the sea, which can be neither
measured nor numbered; and in the place where it was said to them, "You are
not my people," it shall be said to them, "Sons of the living God." [11]
And the people of Judah and the people of Israel shall be gathered
together, and they shall appoint for themselves one head; and they shall go
up from the land, for great shall be the day of Jezreel.
