| 1:2 |
When JehovahYahweh spakespoke at the first by Hosea, JehovahYahweh said untoto Hosea, Go, take untofor theeyourself a wife of whoredomprostitution and children of whoredomunfaithfulness; for the land dothcommits commit great whoredomadultery, departingforsaking from JehovahYahweh. |
| 1:3 |
So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; and she conceived, and barebore him a son. |
| 1:4 |
AndYahweh Jehovah said untoto him, Call his name Jezreel;, for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel uponon the house of Jehu, and will cause the kingdom of the house of Israel to cease. |
| 1:5 |
AndIt itwill shallhappen comein to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel. |
| 1:6 |
AndShe she conceived again, and barebore a daughter. AndThen Jehovahhe said untoto him, Call her name Lo ruhamah;Ruhamah, for I will no morelonger have mercy uponon the house of Israel, that I should in any wiseway pardon them. |
| 1:7 |
But I will have mercy uponon the house of Judah, and will save them by JehovahYahweh their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, noror by horsemen. |
| 1:8 |
Now when she had weaned Lo ruhamahRuhamah, she conceived, and barebore a son. |
| 1:9 |
AndHe Jehovah said, Call his name Lo ammi;Ammi, for yeyou are not my people, and I will not be your Godyours. |

| 1:11 |
AndThe the children of Judah and the children of Israel shallwill be gathered together, and they shallwill appoint themselves one head, and shallwill go up from the land; for great shallwill be the day of Jezreel. |
| 2:1 |
Say yeto unto your brethrenbrothers, Ammi;My people! and to your sisters, Ruhamah.My loved one! |
| 2:2 |
Contend with your mother! Contend, contend; for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband; and let her put away her whoredomsprostitution from her face, and her adulteries from between her breasts; |
| 2:3 |
lest I strip her naked, and setmake her bare as in the day that she was born, and make her aslike a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and slaykill her with thirst. |
| 2:4 |
YeaIndeed, uponon her children I will I have no mercy;, for they are children of whoredom;unfaithfulness. |
| 2:5 |
forFor their mother hathhas played the harlot;prostitute. sheShe thatwho conceived them hathhas done shamefully; for she said, I will go after my lovers, thatwho give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, minemy oil and my drink. |
| 2:6 |
Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thyyour way with thorns, and I will build a wall against her, that she shallcant not find her pathsway. |
| 2:7 |
AndShe shewill shall follow after her lovers, but she shallwont not overtake them; and she shallwill seek them, but shallwont not find them:. thenThen shall she will say, I will go and return to my first husband;, for then it was it better with me than now. |
| 2:8 |
For she diddidnt not know that I gave her the grain, and the new wine, and the oil, and multiplied untoto her silver and gold, which they used for Baal. |
| 2:9 |
Therefore I will I take back my grain in theits time thereof, and my new wine in theits season thereof, and will pluck away my wool and my flax which should have covered her nakedness. |
| 2:10 |
AndNow nowI will I uncover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and noneno shallone will deliver her out of my hand. |
| 2:11 |
I will also cause all her mirthcelebrations to cease,: her feasts, her new moons, and her sabbathsSabbaths, and all her solemn assemblies. |
| 2:12 |
And I will lay waste her vines and her fig trees, whereofabout which she hathhas said, These are my hirewages that my lovers have given me;, and I will make them a forest, and the beastsanimals of the field shall eat them. |
| 2:13 |
And I will visit uponon her the days of the BaalimBaals, untoto which she burned incense, when she decked herself with her earearrings rings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, and forgatforgot me, saithsays JehovahYahweh. |
| 2:14 |
Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortablytenderly untoto her. |
| 2:15 |
And I will give her her vineyards from thencethere, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope; and she shallwill makerespond answer there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt. |
| 2:16 |
AndIt itwill shall be atin that day, saithsays JehovahYahweh, that thouyou shaltwill call me Ishimy husband, and shaltno longer call me nomy more Baalimaster. |
| 2:17 |
For I will take away the names of the BaalimBaals out of her mouth, and they shallwill no morelonger be mentioned by their name. |
| 2:18 |
AndIn in that day I will I make a covenant for them with the beastsanimals of the field, and with the birds of the heavenssky, and with the creeping things of the ground:. and I will break the bow, and the sword, and the battle out of the land, and will make them to lie down safely. |
| 2:19 |
And I will betroth theeyou untoto me forforever. ever; yeaYes, I will betroth theeyou untoto me in righteousness, and in justice, and in lovingkindnessloving kindness, and in merciescompassion. |
| 2:20 |
I will even betroth theeyou untoto me in faithfulness; and thouyou shaltshall know JehovahYahweh. |

AndIt itwill shallhappen come to pass in that day, that I will answerrespond, saithsays Jehovah,Yahweh. I will answerrespond to the heavens, and they shallwill answerrespond to the earth; |
| 2:22 |
and the earth shallwill answerrespond to the grain, and the new wine, and the oil; and they shallwill answerrespond to Jezreel. |
| 2:23 |
And I will sow her untoto me in the earth; and I will have mercy uponon her thatwho had not obtained mercy; and I will saytell tothose themwho that were not my people, ThouYou artare my people; and they shallwill say, ThouYou artare myMy God.! |
| 3:1 |
AndYahweh Jehovah said untoto me, Go again, love a woman belovedloved ofby her friendanother, and an adulteress, even as JehovahYahweh lovethloves the children of Israel, though they turn untoto other gods, and love cakes of raisins. |
| 3:2 |
So I bought her tofor memyself for fifteen pieces of silver, and a homer of barley, and a half homer of barley;. |
| 3:3 |
and I said untoto her, ThouYou shaltshall abidestay forwith me many days;. thouYou shaltshall not play the harlotprostitute, and thouyou shaltshall not be with any mansother wife:man. soI will I also be so toward theeyou. |
| 3:4 |
For the children of Israel shall abidelive many days without king, and without prince, and without sacrifice, and without pillarsacred stone, and without ephod or teraphim:idols. |
| 3:5 |
afterwardAfterward shall the children of Israel shall return, and seek JehovahYahweh their God, and David their king, and shall come with feartrembling untoto JehovahYahweh and to his goodnessblessings in the latterlast days. |
| 4:1 |
Hear theYahwehs word of Jehovah, yeyou children of Israel;, for JehovahYahweh hathhas a controversycharge withagainst the inhabitants of the land,: becauseIndeed there is no truth, nor goodness, nor knowledge of God in the land. |
| 4:2 |
There is noughtcursing, but swearing and breaking faithlying, and killingmurder, and stealing, and committing adultery; they break outboundaries, and bloodbloodshed touchethcauses bloodbloodshed. |
| 4:3 |
Therefore shall the land will mourn, and everyeveryone onewho thatdwells dwellethin thereinit shallwill languishwaste away, with all living things in her, even the beastsanimals of the field and the birds of the heavenssky; yeayes, the fishesfish of the sea also shall be taken awaydie. |
| 4:4 |
Yet let no man strivebring a charge, neither let any man reproveaccuse; for thyyour people are aslike theythose thatwho strivebring withcharges theagainst a priest. |
| 4:5 |
AndYou thouwill shalt stumble in the day, and the prophet will also shall stumble with theeyou in the night; and I will destroy thyyour mother. |
| 4:6 |
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge:. becauseBecause thouyou hasthave rejected knowledge, I will also reject theeyou, that thouyou shaltmay be no priest to me:. seeingBecause thouyou hasthave forgotten theyour Gods law of thy God, I will also will forget thyyour children. |
| 4:7 |
As they were multiplied, so they sinned against me:. I will change their glory into shame. |

AndIt itwill shall be, like people, like priest; and I will punish them for their ways, and will requiterepay them for their doingsdeeds. |
| 4:10 |
AndThey theywill shall eat, and not have enough;. theyThey shallwill play the harlotprostitute, and shallwill not increase; because they have leftabandoned offlistening taking heed to JehovahYahweh. |

| 4:13 |
They sacrifice uponon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense uponon the hills, under oaks, and poplars, and terebinths, because theits shadowshade thereof is good:. thereforeTherefore your daughters play the harlotprostitute, and your brides commit adultery. |
| 4:14 |
I will not punish your daughters when they play the harlotprostitute, nor your brides when they commit adultery; forbecause the men themselvesconsort go apart with harlotsprostitutes, and they sacrifice with the shrine prostitutes; andso the people thatwithout dothunderstanding notwill understandcome shallto be overthrownruin. |
| 4:15 |
Though thouyou, Israel, play the harlotprostitute, yet dont let not Judah offend; and dont come notto ye unto Gilgal, neither go ye up to Beth avenAven, nor swear, As JehovahYahweh livethlives. |
| 4:16 |
For Israel hathhas behaved himselfextremely stubbornly, like a stubborn heifer:. nowThen how will JehovahYahweh feed them aslike a lamb in a large place.meadow? |

Their doingsdeeds willwont notallow suffer them to turn untoto their God;, for the spirit of whoredomprostitution is within them, and they dont know not JehovahYahweh. |
| 5:5 |
AndThe the pride of Israel dothtestifies testify to his face:. thereforeTherefore Israel and Ephraim shallwill stumble in their iniquity;. Judah also shallwill stumble with them. |
| 5:6 |
They shallwill go with their flocks and with their herds to seek Jehovah;Yahweh, but they shallwont not find him:. heHe hathhas withdrawn himself from them. |
| 5:7 |
They haveare dealtunfaithful treacherouslyto against JehovahYahweh; for they have borne strangeillegitimate children:. nowNow shall the new moon will devour them with their fields. |

Ephraim shallwill become a desolation in the day of rebuke:. amongAmong the tribes of Israel, I have I made known that which shallwill surely be. |
| 5:10 |
The princes of Judah are like themthose thatwho remove thea landmark:. I will pour out my wrath uponon them like water. |

Ephraim is oppressed, he is crushed in judgment;, because he wasis contentintent toin walkhis afterpursuit mansof commandidols. |
| 5:12 |
Therefore I am Ito unto Ephraim aslike a moth, and to the house of Judah aslike rottenness. |
| 5:13 |
When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then Ephraim went Ephraim to Assyria, and sent to kingKing Jareb: but he is not able to heal you, neither will he cure you of your wound. |
| 5:14 |
For I will be untoto Ephraim aslike a lion, and aslike a young lion to the house of Judah:. I, evenmyself I, will tear in pieces and go away;. I will carry off, and there shallwill be noneno one to deliver. |
| 5:15 |

In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing:. thereThere whoredom is foundprostitution in Ephraim,. Israel is defiled. |

Also, O Judah, there is a harvest appointed for theeyou, when I bringrestore back the captivityfortunes of my people. |

And Ephraim is like aan sillyeasily deceived dove, without understanding:. theyThey call untoto Egypt,. theyThey go to Assyria. |
| 7:12 |
When they shall go, I will spread my net uponon them;. I will bring them down aslike the birds of the heavens;sky. I will chastise them, as their congregation hathhas heard. |

I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness;. I saw your fathers as the first ripe in the fig tree at its first season:; but they came to Baal peorPeor, and consecrated themselves untoto the shameful thing, and became abominable like that which they loved. |
| 9:11 |
As for Ephraim, their glory shallwill fly away like a bird:. thereThere shallwill be no birth, andno noneone with child, and no conception. |
