Hosea 1:2-4
Hosea 1: 2 to 4
2 ADONAI’s opening words in speaking to Hoshea were to instruct Hoshea, “Go, marry a whore, and have children with this whore; for the land is engaged in flagrant whoring, whoring away from ADONAI.”
3 So he went and married Gomer the daughter of Divlayim, and she conceived and bore him a son.
4 ADONAI said to him, “Call him Yizre‘el, because in only a short time I will punish the house of Yehu for having shed blood at Yizre‘el; I will put an end to the kingdom of the house of Isra’el.
