Chapter 1:

  1. The word of The Lord that came to 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.   (Amos 1:1;   2 Chr. 27;   2 Chr. 28)
  2. When the Lord began to speak by Hosea, the Lord said to Hosea:
        3. "Go, take yourself a wife of harlotry (Hos. 3:1) and children of harlotry,
         For the land has committed great harlotry by departing from the Lord."   (Jer. 2:13)
  3. So he
  4. Then
  5. It shall
  6. And she
  7. Yet I will have mercy on the house of Judah,  (2 Kin. 19:29-35)  will save them by the Lord their God, and will not save them by bow,  (Zech. 4:6)  nor by sword or battle, by horses or horsemen."
  8. Now when she had weaned Lo-Ruhamah, she conceived and bore a son.
  9. Then God said:
      "Call his name Lo-Ammi,
      For you are not My people,
      And I will not by your God.  (Peter 2:10)
  10. "Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be a the sand of the sea,  (Gen. 22:17;   Gen. 32:12)  which cannot be measured or numbered.  And it shall come to pass in the place where it was said to them,  (P)  'You are not My people,' there it shall be said to them,  (Rom. 9:26)  'You are the sons of the living God.'  (John 1:12)
  11. Then the children of Judah and the children of Israel shall be gathered together, and appoint for themselves one head; and they shall come up out of the land, for great will be the day of Jezreel!  (Is. 11:11-13)

  6. For I desire mercy and not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
  7. “But like men they transgressed the covenant; there they dealt treacherously with Me.
  8. Gilead is a city of evildoers, and is defiled with blood.
