The Family of Hosea
a“Go, take yourself a wife of harlotry
And children of harlotry,
For bthe land has committed great harlotry
By departing from the Lord.”
“Call his name Jezreel,
For in a little while
aI will avenge the bloodshed of Jezreel on the house of Jehu,
bAnd bring an end to the kingdom of the house of Israel.
That I will break the bow of Israel in the Valley of Jezreel.”
