The word of Jehovah which was to Hosea son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam, son of Joash, king of Israel.

The beginning of the word of Jehovah by Hosea. And Jehovah will say to Hosea, Go, take to thee a wife of fornication and children of fornication; for the land committing fornication, will commit fornication from after Jehovah.

And Jehovah will say to him, Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little and I reviewed the bloods of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and I caused the kingdom of the house of Israel to cease.

And I will compassionate the house of Judah, and I saved them by Jehovah their God, and I will not save them by bow and by sword, and by battle, by horses and by horsemen.

And I reviewed upon her the days of the Baals, which she will burn incense to them, and she will be decked with her earring and her necklace, and she will go after those loving her, and she forget me, says Jehovah.

And it was in that day, says Jehovah, thou shalt call me, My husband; and thou shalt no more call to me, My Lord.

And I betrothed thee to me in faithfulness, and thou knewest Jehovah.

And it was in that day, I will answer, says Jehovah, I will answer the heavens and they shall answer the earth;

And Jehovah will say to me, Yet go, love a woman loving evil and an adulteress, as Jehovah loves the sons of Israel, and they took to other gods and love raisin-cakes.

Afterward the sons of Israel shall turn back and they sought Jehovah their God, and David their king; and they trembled at Jehovah and at his goodness in the last of the days.

Hear the word of Jehovah, ye sons of Israel: for a contention to Jehovah with the inhabitants of the land, for no truth and no kindness and no knowledge of God in the land.

For they ate and they shall not be satisfied, and they committed fornication and they shall not spread abroad: for with Jehovah they left off to watch.

If thou Israel commit fornication Judah shall not transgress; and ye shall not come to Gilgal, and ye shall not go up to the house of vanity, and ye shall not swear, Jehovah lives.

For as a stubborn heifer Israel was stubborn: now will Jehovah feed them as a lamb in a wide place.

They will not give their doings to turn back to their God, for the spirit of fornication is in the midst of them, and they knew not Jehovah.

With their sheep and with their oxen they will go to seek Jehovah; and they shall not find; he withdrew himself from them.

Against Jehovah they acted faithlessly: for they begat strange sons: now shall the new moon consume them with their portions.

Go ye and we will turn back to Jehovah: for he rent and he will heal us; he will strike, and he will bind us up.

And we shall know, we shall pursue to know Jehovah: as the morning his going forth was prepared; and he shall come as the rain to us, as the latter rain, the early rain of the earth.

And the pride of Israel was humbled in his face: and they turned not back to Jehovah their God. and sought him not in all this

The trumpet to thy mouth: as an eagle upon the house of Jehovah, because they passed by my covenant and they transgressed against my laws.

The sacrifices of my gifts they will sacrifice flesh, and they will eat; Jehovah delighted not in them; now will he remember their iniquity, and he will review their sins: they shall turn back to Egypt

They shall not dwell in the land of Jehovah; and Ephraim turned back to Egypt, and in Assur they shall eat the unclean thing.

They shall not pour out wine to Jehovah, and they shall not be pleasant to him: their sacrifices as the bread of sorrows to them; all eating it shall be defiled: for their bread for their soul shall not come in to the house of Jehovah.

What will ye do for the day of appointment, and for the day of the festival of Jehovah?

Give to them, O Jehovah: what wilt thou give? give to them a miscarrying womb, and dry breasts.

For now they will say, No king to us because we feared not Jehovah; and what shall the king do to us?

Sow to yourselves for justice, reap ye for the mouth of kindness; break up to you the fallow ground: and the time to seek Jehovah till he shall come and cast justice upon you.

They shall go after Jehovah: as a lion shall he roar: for he shall roar, and the sons of the waters shall tremble.

They shall tremble as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assur: and I caused them to dwell in their houses, says Jehovah.

And a contention to Jehovah with Judah, and to review Jacob according to his ways; he will turn back to him according to his doings.

And Jehovah God of armies, Jehovah his remembrance.

And I am Jehovah thy God from the land of Egypt; I will even cause thee to dwell in tents as in the days of the appointment

And by a prophet Jehovah brought up Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet he was perserved

And I am Jehovah thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt not know a God except me: and none saving but me.

If he shall bear fruit in the midst of his brethren, the east wind shall come, the wind of Jehovah came up from the desert, and his fountain shall be dried up, and he shall lay waste his place of fountains: he shall plunder the treasure of all vessels of desire.

Turn back, O Israel, even to Jehovah thy God, for thou wert weak in thine iniquity.

Take with you words and turn back to Jehovah: say to him, Thou wilt take away all iniquity, and take good: and we will requite the fruits of our lips.

Who being wise, and he shall understand these things? and knowing, and he shall know them? for the ways of Jehovah are straight, and the just shall go in them: and they transgressing shall be weak in them.
