Hosea 1
The word of Allah that came to Hosea Ibn Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam Ibn Joash, king of Israel. 2When Allah spoke at the first by Hosea, Allah said to Hosea, "Go, take for yourself a wife of prostitution and children of unfaithfulness; for the land commits great adultery departing from Allah."
3So he went and took Gomer Bint Diblaim; and she conceived, and bore him a son.
4Allah said to him, "Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel on the house of Jehu, and will cause the kingdom of the house of Israel to cease. 5It will happen in that day that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel."
6She conceived again, and bore a daughter.
Then Allah said to Hosea, "Call her name Lo-Ruhamah[1]; for I will no longer have mercy on the house of Israel, that I should in any way pardon them. 7But I will have mercy on the house of Judah, and will save them by Allah their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen."
8Now when she had weaned Lo-Ruhamah, she conceived, and bore a son.
9He said, "Call his name Lo-Ammi[2]; for you are not my people, and I will not be yours. 10Yet the number of Bani-Israel will be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered. It will happen that in the place where it was said to them, 'You are not my people,' they will be called 'sons of the living God.'[3] 11The children of Judah and Bani-Israel will be gathered together, and they will appoint themselves one head, and will go up from the land; for great will be the day of Jezreel.
