Hosea 1:4 - Forerunner Commentary

Hosea 1:4

The Family of Hosea

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.

5 ^aIt shall come to pass in that day
That I will break the bow of Israel in the Valley of Jezreel.”

6 And she conceived again and bore a daughter. Then God said to him:
“Call her name¹ Lo-Ruhamah,
^aFor I will no longer have mercy on the house of Israel,
¹But I will utterly take them away.
