Hosea · Chapter 1
The word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) that came unto 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 Yisra'el.
The beginning of the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) by Hosea. And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) said to Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms and children of whoredoms: for the land hath committed great whoredom,
departing from 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; which conceived, and bare him a son.
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) 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 Yisra'el.
And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Yisra'el in the valley of Jezreel.
And she conceived again, and bare a daughter. And
Elohim said unto him, Call her name Lo-ruhamah: for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Yisra'el; but I will utterly take them away.
But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) their Elohim, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen.
Now when she had weaned Lo-ruhamah, she conceived, and bare a son.
Then said
Elohim, Call his name Lo-ammi: for ye
are
not my people, and I will not be your
Elohim.
Yet the number of the children of Yisra'el shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass,
that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye
are
not my people,
there it shall be said unto them,
Ye are
the sons of the living Elohim.
Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Yisra'el be gathered together, and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up out of the land: for great
shall be the day of Jezreel.

Hosea · Chapter 2
Say ye unto your brethren, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ru-hamah.
Plead with your mother, plead: for she
is not my wife, neither
am I her husband: let her therefore put away her whoredoms out of her sight, and her adulteries from between her breasts;
Lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and slay her with thirst.
And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they
be the children of whoredoms.
For their mother hath played the harlot: she that conceived them hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give
me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink.
Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths.
And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find
them: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then
was it
better with me than now.
For she did not know that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold,
which they prepared for Baal.
Therefore will I return, and take away my corn in the time thereof, and my wine in the season thereof, and will recover my wool and my flax
given to cover her nakedness.
And now will I discover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of mine hand.
I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts.
And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, whereof she hath said, These
are my rewards that my lovers have given me: and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them.
And I will visit upon her the days of Baalim, wherein she burned incense to them, and she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers, and forgat me, saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her.
And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Mitsrayim.
And it shall be at that day, saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH),
that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali.
For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name.
And in that day will I make a b'rit for them with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of shamayim, and
with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely.
And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies.
I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), I will hear the shamayim, and they shall hear the earth;
And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jezreel.
And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to
them which were
not my people, Thou
art my people; and they shall say,
Thou art my Elohim.

Hoshea3
Hosea · Chapter 3
Then said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) unto me, Go yet, love a woman beloved of
her
friend, yet an adulteress, according to the love of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) toward the children of Yisra'el, who look to other gods, and love flagons of wine.
So I bought her to me for fifteen
pieces of silver, and
for an homer of barley, and an half homer of barley:
And I said unto her, Thou shalt abide for me many days; thou shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt not be for
another man: so
will I also
be for thee.
For the children of Yisra'el shall abide many days without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an image, and without an ephod, and
without teraphim:
Afterward shall the children of Yisra'el return, and seek 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) their Elohim, and Dawid their king; and shall fear 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) and his goodness in the latter days.
