13AND YOU GO TO THE END SO YOU MAY REST AND YOU MAY ARISE TO ALLOTTED PORTION YOUR TO [THE] END OF THE DAYS 13But as for you, go on your way until the end. You will rest, and then you will arise to your inheritance at the end of the days.”
1[THE] WORD OF YAHWEH WHICH IT CAME TO HOSEA [THE] SON OF BEERI IN [THE] DAYS OF UZZIAH JOTHAM AHAZ HEZEKIAH [THE] KINGS OF JUDAH AND IN [THE] DAYS OF JEROBOAM [THE] SON OF JOASH [THE] KING OF ISRAEL Hosea’s Wife and Children 1This is the word of the LORD that came to Hosea son of Beeri in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and of Jeroboam son of Jehoash,*NoteCloseHebrew Joash, a variant of Jehoash king of Israel.
2[THE] BEGINNING <OF> [WHEN] HE SPOKE YAHWEH BY HOSEA AND HE SAID YAHWEH TO HOSEA GO TAKE FOR YOURSELF A WIFE OF PROSTITUTION<S> AND CHILDREN OF PROSTITUTION<S> FOR CONTINUALLY <PROSTITUTE ITSELF> IT PROSTITUTES ITSELF THE LAND FROM AFTER YAHWEH 2When the LORD first spoke through Hosea, He told him, “Go, take a prostitute as your wife and have children of adultery, because this land is flagrantly prostituting itself by departing from the LORD.”
3AND HE WENT AND HE TOOK <OBJ.> GOMER [THE] DAUGHTER OF DIBLAIM AND SHE CONCEIVED AND SHE BORE TO HIM A SON 3So Hosea went and married Gomer daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son.
4AND HE SAID YAHWEH TO HIM CALL NAME HIS JEZREEL FOR YET A LITTLE AND I WILL VISIT <OBJ.> [THE] BLOOD<S> OF JEZREEL ON [THE] HOUSE OF JEHU AND I WILL PUT AN END TO [THE] KINGDOM OF [THE] HOUSE OF ISRAEL 4Then the LORD said to Hosea, “Name him Jezreel,*NoteCloseJezreel means God sows; also in verse 11. for soon I will bring the bloodshed of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and I will put an end to the kingdom of Israel.
5AND IT WILL BE ON THE DAY <THE> THAT AND I WILL BREAK <OBJ.> [THE] BOW OF ISRAEL IN [THE] VALLEY OF JEZREEL 5And on that day I will break the bow of Israel in the Valley of Jezreel.”
6AND SHE CONCEIVED AGAIN AND SHE BORE A DAUGHTER AND HE SAID TO HIM CALL NAME HER LO- RUHAMAH FOR NOT I WILL REPEAT AGAIN I WILL HAVE COMPASSION ON <OBJ.> [THE] HOUSE OF ISRAEL THAT CERTAINLY <FORGIVE> I WILL FORGIVE <TO> THEM 6Gomer again conceived and gave birth to a daughter, and the LORD said to Hosea, “Name her Lo-ruhamah,*NoteCloseLo-ruhamah means she has not received mercy. for I will no longer have compassion on the house of Israel, that I should ever forgive them.
7AND <OBJ.> [THE] HOUSE OF JUDAH I WILL HAVE COMPASSION ON AND I WILL SAVE THEM BY YAHWEH GOD THEIR AND NOT I WILL SAVE THEM BY BOW AND BY SWORD AND BY BATTLE BY HORSES AND BY HORSEMEN 7Yet I will have compassion on the house of Judah, and I will save them— not by bow or sword or war, not by horses and cavalry, but by the LORD their God.”
8AND SHE WEANED <OBJ.> LO- RUHAMAH AND SHE CONCEIVED AND SHE BORE A SON 8After she had weaned Lo-ruhamah, Gomer conceived and gave birth to a son.
9AND HE SAID CALL NAME HIS LO- AMMI FOR YOU NOT [ARE] PEOPLE MY AND I NOT I WILL BELONG TO YOU 9And the LORD said, “Name him Lo-ammi,*NoteCloseLo-ammi means not My people. for you are not My people, and I am not your God.*NoteCloseHebrew I am not yours
10AND IT WILL BE [THE] NUMBER OF [THE] PEOPLE OF ISRAEL LIKE [THE] SAND OF THE SEA WHICH NOT IT WILL BE MEASURED AND NOT IT WILL BE COUNTED AND IT WILL BE IN [THE] PLACE <OF> WHERE IT WAS SAID TO THEM NOT [ARE] PEOPLE MY YOU IT WILL BE SAID TO THEM CHILDREN OF [THE] GOD LIVING 10Yet the number of the Israelites will be like the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured or counted. And it will happen that in the very place where it was said to them, ‘You are not My people,’ they will be called ‘sons of the living God.’*NoteCloseCited in Romans 9:26
11AND THEY WILL BE GATHERED [THE] PEOPLE OF JUDAH AND [THE] PEOPLE OF ISRAEL TOGETHER AND THEY WILL APPOINT FOR THEMSELVES A CHIEF ONE AND THEY WILL GO UP FROM THE LAND FOR [WILL BE] GREAT [THE] DAY OF JEZREEL 11Then the people of Judah and of Israel will be gathered together, and they will appoint for themselves one leader, and will go up out of the land. For great will be the day of Jezreel. [’’]
