(this is a scan from the exact, authentic, original 1611 'HE' King James Bible)

1 The word of the Lord that came vnto Hosea, the sonne of Beeri, in the dayes of Uzziah, Iotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah kings of Iudah, and in the dayes of Ieroboam the sonne of Ioash king of Israel.

2 The beginning of the word of the Lord by Hosea: and the Lord sayd to Hosea, Goe, take vnto thee a wife of whoredomes, and children of whoredomes: for the land hath committed great whoredome, departing from the Lord.

3 So he went and tooke Gomer the daughter of Diblaim, which conceiued and bare him a sonne.

4 And the Lord said vnto him, Call his name Iezreel; for yet a little while, and I will auenge the blood of Iezreel vpon the house of Iehu, and will cause to cease the kingdome of the house of Israel.

5 And it shall come to passe at that day, that I will breake the bow of Israel in the valley of Iezreel.

6 ¶ And shee conceiued againe and bare a daughter, and God sayd vnto him, Call her name Lo-ruhamah: for I will no more haue mercy vpon the house of Israel: but I will vtterly take them away.

7 But I will haue mercy vpon the house of Iudah, and will saue them by the Lord their God, and will not saue them by vow, nor by sword, nor by battell, by horses nor by horsemen.

8 ¶ Now when shee had weaned Lo-ruhamah, she couceiued and bare a sonne.

9 Then sayde God, Call his name Lo-ammi: for yee are not my people, and I will not be your God.

10 ¶ Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot bee measured nor numbred, and it shall come to passe, that in the place where it was said vnto them, Yee are not my people, there it shall be said vnto them, Ye are the sonnes of the liuing God.

11 Then shall the children of Iudah and the children of Israel be gathered together, and appoint themselues one head, and they shall come vp out of the land: for great shalbe the day of Iezreel.

God loves us with true love, now that's his character.

 


Therese's Hosea Chapter 1 comment on 12/18/2012, 9:51am...

God is such a redeeming God! Here, He is redeeming the sins of the people through the actions and obedience of Hosea. Otherwise it is actually a lesson of obedience. Gomer may not have got that lesson at first; just as we the children of God may need more than one lesson, but through the diligence of Hosea's obedience to God, love came through and won! As far as marriage goes, we must always first keep the commandment of love. Easier said than done. We definitely need Jesus and we need to remember "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me".

 


Timothy Wayne George's Hosea Chapter 1 comment on 6/27/2012, 7:25am...

Hosea is given a command to marry a harlot, named Gomer. I wonder how many of us would have obeyed God, and done that. Yet Hosea did obey God, and he learned what it was to love an unfaithful wife. Just as Israel had been the wife of God, and had been unfaithful to him God still had mercy on her. Marriage is holy and God wants us to honor our covenant relationship, even if one of the spouse's is unfaithful. So Hosea loved Gomer, and even though he put her out of the home after her unfaithfulness he later redeemed her and she became a faithful wife. This speaks of the Lord's great love for us as we have not been redeemed with silver or gold, but the precious blood of Jesus as a lamb without spot or blemish. God will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, there when the battle in Jezreel takes place God will fight for the people when they come against Israel in the latter days. Christ shall be the one head over them, and they shall be his people. He shall be their God, and thank God that he always keeps his promises. So even though this is yet to be fulfilled it will surely come to pass. So don't give up on your marriage no matter how difficult it may be God is still the restorer of lost things, and don't give up because God does not give up on us.

v4 the Kingdom of Israel CEASED to exist and He is no longer their God It is not to be confused with the current country of Israel of today.
v9 tells the Nation of Israel that they have fallen out of favor with GOD and they are no longer His chosen people (v4 for a little while) a period of time we have no idea when it will end, although we know when it began.)

 


Beth Smart's Hosea Chapter 1 comment on 11/17/2011, 7:10pm...

This chapter shows how God is in total control over everything. His mercy has been shown for these people. This is all part of His plan for the larger scheme of things. God directs people even if one doesn't realize this. God is in front of everything,everywhere.

Hosea 13:16 "They shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed into pieces: and their women with child shall be ripped up".
What is the moral?

 


Mike7's Hosea Chapter 1 comment on 11/05/2010, 7:38pm...

Jezreel means "God will sow", Ammi means "People, or congregation" Ruhamah means "Those who are loved". What a mighty God we serve!!!
