² When Yahweh first spoke through Hosea, Yahweh said to Hosea, “^(A)Go, take for yourself a wife of harlotry and have children of harlotry; for ^(B)the land commits flagrant harlotry, ^[a]forsaking Yahweh.” ³ So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and ^(C)gave birth to a son for him. ⁴ And Yahweh said to him, “Name him ^(D)Jezreel; for yet a little while, and ^(E)I will visit the bloodshed of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and ^(F)I will cause the kingdom of the house of Israel to cease.
