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.”
“Call her name1 Lo-Ruhamah,
aFor I will no longer have mercy on the house of Israel,
1But I will utterly take them away.
Will save them by the Lord their God,
And bwill not save them by bow,
Nor by sword or battle,
By horses or horsemen.”
The Restoration of Israel
Shall be as the sand of the sea,
Which cannot be measured or numbered.
bAnd it shall come to pass
In the place where it was said to them,
‘You are1 not My cpeople,’
There it shall be said to them,
‘You are dsons of the living God.’
Shall be gathered together,
And appoint for themselves one head;
And they shall come up out of the land,
For great will be the day of Jezreel!
