1 The word of the Lord that came to Hosea the son of Beeri, in the days of ^aUzziah, ^bJotham, ^cAhaz, and ^dHezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of ^eJeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.

2 When the Lord began to speak by Hosea, the Lord said to 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.”

3 So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son.

4 Then the Lord said to him:
“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.
