[2] The beginning of the word of the LORD by Hosea. And the LORD said to Hosea, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms and children of whoredoms: for the land hath committed great departing from the LORD. [3] and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; which conceived, and bare him a son. [4] And the LORD said unto him, Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel. [5] And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.
