== Hoshea (Book of Hosea), Chapter 1 ==

<named id="1"/>1 THE WORD of HaShem that came unto 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.

<named id="2"/>2 When HaShem spoke at first with Hosea, HaShem said unto Hosea: 'Go, take unto thee a wife of harlotry and children of harlotry; for the land doth commit great harlotry, departing from HaShem.'

<named id="3"/>3 So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; and she conceived, and bore him a son.

<named id="4"/>4 And HaShem said unto him: 'Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will visit the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.

<named id="5"/>5 And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.'

<named id="6"/>6 And she conceived again, and bore a daughter. And He said unto him: 'Call her name Lo-ruhamah; for I will no more have compassion upon the house of Israel, that I should in any wise pardon them.

<named id="7"/>7 But I will have compassion upon the house of Judah, and will save them by HaShem their G-d, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, nor by horses, nor by horsemen.'

<named id="8"/>8 Now when she had weaned Lo-ruhamah, she conceived, and bore a son.

<named id="9"/>9 And He said: 'Call his name Lo-ammi; for ye are not My people, and I will not be yours.'

<named id="10"/>1 Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass that, instead of that which was said unto them: 'Ye are not My people', it shall be said unto them: 'Ye are the children of the living G-d.'

<named id="11"/>2 And the children of Judah and the children of Israel shall be gathered together, and they shall appoint themselves one head, and shall go up out of the land; for great shall be the day of Jezreel.
