THE WORD OF THE LORD THAT CAME TO HOSEA DURING REIGN OF UZZIAH AND DURING THE RREIGN OF JEROBOAM

2 WHEN THE GORD BEGAN TO SPEKA THROUGH HOSEA, GO , TAKE TO YOURSELF AN ADULTEROUS WIFE AND CHILDREN OF UNFAITHFULNESS, BECAUSE THE LAND IS GUILTY OF THE VILEST ADULTERY IN DEPARTING FROM THE LORD

3 SO HE MARRIED GOMER AND SHE CONCEIVED AND BORE HIM A SON

4 THEN THE LORD SAID, CALL HIM BECUASE I WILL SOON PUNISH THE HOUSE OF JEHU FOR THE MASSACRE AND I WILL PUT AN END TO THE KINGDOM OF ISRAEL

5 IN THAT DAY I WILL BREAK ISRAELS' BOW

6 GOMER CONCEIVED AGAIN AND GAVE BIRTH TO A DAUGHTER.

7 YET I WILL SHOW LOVE TO THE HOUSE OF JUDAH AND I WILL SAVE THEM- NOT BY BOW, SWORD OR BATTLE, OR BY HORSES AND HORSEMEN, BUT BY THE LORD THEIR GOD

8 AFTER SHE HAD WEANED LO-RUHAMAH, GOMER HAD ANOTHER SON.

9 THEN THE LORD SAIDK CALL HIM LO-AMMMI

10 YET THE ISRAELITES WILL BE LIKE THE SAND ON THE SEASHORE, WHOICH CANNOT BE MEASURED OR COUNTED IN THE PLACE WHERE IT WAS SAID TO THE, YOU ARE NOT MY PEOPLE

11 THE PEOPLE OF JUDAH AND THE POEPLE OF ISRAEL WILL BE REUNITED AND THEY WILL APPOINT ONE LEADER AND WILL COME UP OUT OF THE LAND, FOR GREAT WILL BE THE DAY OF JEZREEL
