The word of the Lord that came to Hosea son of Beeri during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and of Jeroboam son of Jehoash, king of Israel.

So he went and married Gomer daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son.

After Gomer had weaned No Compassion, she conceived and gave birth to a son.

Yet the number of the Israelites
will be like the sand of the sea,
which cannot be measured or counted.
And in the place where they were told:
You are not My people,
they will be called: Sons of the living God.

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
Because you have rejected knowledge,
I will reject you from serving as My priest.
Since you have forgotten the law of your God,
I will also forget your sons.

When Israel was a child, I loved him,
and out of Egypt I called My son.

Labor pains come on him.
He is not a wise son;
when the time comes,
he will not be born.
