Hosea 1:2-9
1599 Geneva Bible
2 At the beginning the Lord spake by Hosea, and the Lord said unto Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife [a]of fornications, and children of fornications: for the land hath committed great whoredom, departing from the Lord.
3 So he went, and took [b]Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim, which conceived and bare him a son.
4 And the Lord said unto him, Call his name [c]Jezreel: for yet a little, and I will visit the blood of Jezreel upon the house of [d]Jehu, and will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.
5 And at that [e]day will I also break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.
6 She conceived yet again, and bare a daughter, and God said unto him, Call her name [f]Lo-Ruhamah: for I will no more have pity upon the house of Israel: but I will utterly [g]take them away.
7 Yet I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will [h]save them by the Lord their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen.
8 Now when she had weaned Lo-Ruhamah, she conceived, and bare a son.
9 Then said God, Call his name [i]Lo-Ammi: for ye are not my people: therefore will I not be yours.
