* The beginning of the word of the LORD by Hosea . And the LORD said to Hosea , Go , take unto thee a wife of whoredoms and children of whoredoms : for the land hath committed great whoredom , departing from the LORD . * So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim ; which conceived , and bare him a son . * And the LORD said unto him , Call his name Jezreel Yizr @#e #l #; for yet a little while , and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel Yizr @#e #l # upon the house of Jehu , and will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel Yisra #el #. * And it shall come to pass at that day , that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel Yizr @#e #l #. * And she conceived again , and bare a daughter . And God said unto him , Call her name Loruhamah R : for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel Yisra #el #; but I will utterly take them away . * But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah , and will save them by the LORD their God , and will not save them by bow , nor by sword , nor by battle , by horses , nor by horsemen . * Now when she had weaned Loruhamah R , she conceived , and bare a son . * Then said God , Call his name Loammi : for ye are not my people , and I will not be your God .
