New King James Version
Hosea 1
1 The word of the Lord that came to Hosea the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel. 2 By departing from the Lord.” 3 So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son. 4 And bring an end to the kingdom of the house of Israel. 5 That I will break the bow of Israel in the Valley of Jezreel.” 6 But I will utterly take them away. 7 By horses or horsemen.” 8 Now when she had weaned Lo-Ruhamah, she conceived and bore a son. 9 And I will not be your God. 10 ‘You are sons of the living God.’ 11 For great will be the day of Jezreel!
