The beginning
<08462>

<01696> (8763)

<03068>

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Hosea
<01954>_,

Go
<03212> (8798)_,

take
<03947> (8798)

unto thee a wife
<0802>

of whoredoms
<02183>

and children
<03206>

of whoredoms
<02183>_:

for the land
<0776>

hath committed great
<02181> (8800)

whoredom
<02181> (8799)_,

[departing] from
<0310>

the LORD
<03068>_.

So he went
<03212> (8799)

and took
<03947> (8799)

Gomer
<01586>

the daughter
<01323>

of Diblaim
<01691>_;

which conceived
<02029> (8799)_,

and bare
<03205> (8799)

him a son
<01121>_.

1:4

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Call
<07121> (8798)

his name
<08034>

Jezreel
<03157>_;

for yet a little
<04592>

[while], and I will avenge
<06485> (8804)

the blood
<01818>

of Jezreel
<03157>

upon the house
<01004>

of Jehu
<03058>_,

and will cause to cease
<07673> (8689)

the kingdom
<04468>

of the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_.

{avenge: Heb. visit}

1:5

And it shall come to pass at that day
<03117>_,

that I will break
<07665> (8804)

the bow
<07198>

of Israel
<03478>

in the valley
<06010>

of Jezreel
<03157>_.
