Hosea 1:2-5

Hosea 1:2-5

[2] The beginning  of the word  of the LORD  by Hosea.  And the LORD  said  to Hosea,  take  unto thee a wife  of whoredoms  and children  of whoredoms:  for the land  hath committed great  departing from  the LORD.  [3] and took  Gomer  the daughter  of Diblaim;  which conceived,  and bare  him a son.  [4] And the LORD  said  unto him, Call  his name  Jezreel;  for yet a little  while, and I will avenge  the blood  of Jezreel  upon the house  of Jehu,  and will cause to cease  the kingdom  of the house  of Israel.  [5] And it shall come to pass at that day,  that I will break  the bow  of Israel  in the valley  of Jezreel.
