1 The word of the Lord that came to Hosea son of Beeri during the reigns of Uzziah,a Jotham,b Ahaz,c and Hezekiah,d kings of Judah, and of Jeroboame son of Jehoash, king of Israel.
2 When the Lord first spoke to Hosea, he said this to him:
Go and marry a woman of promiscuity,f
and have children of promiscuity,
for the land is committing blatant acts of promiscuity
by abandoning the Lord.
3 So he went and married Gomer daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son.g 4 Then the Lord said to him:
Name him Jezreel,A,h for in a little while
I will bring the bloodshed of Jezreeli
on the house of Jehuj
and put an end to the kingdom of the house of Israel.
5 On that day I will break the bow of Israelk
in Jezreel Valley.l
6 She conceived again and gave birth to a daughter, and the Lord said to him:
Name her Lo-ruhamah,B
for I will no longer have compassion
on the house of Israel.
I will certainly take them away.
7 But I will have compassion on the house of Judah,m
and I will deliver them by the Lord their God.n
I will not deliver them by bow, sword, or war,
or by horses and cavalry.o
8 After Gomer had weaned Lo-ruhamah, she conceived and gave birth to a son. 9 Then the Lord said:
Name him Lo-ammi,C
for you are not my people,
and I will not be your God.D,p
10 Yet the number of the Israelites
will be like the sand of the sea,q
which cannot be measured or counted.
And in the place where they were told:
You are not my people,
they will be called: Sons of the living God.r
11 And the Judeans and the Israelites
will be gathered together.s
They will appoint for themselves a single rulert
and go up fromE the land.
For the day of Jezreelu will be great.

About Christian Standard BibleThe Christian Standard Bible (CSB) is a highly trustworthy, faithful translation that is proven to be the optimal blend of accuracy and readability. It’s as literal to the original as possible without sacrificing clarity. The CSB is poised to become the translation that pastors rely on and Bible readers turn to again and again to read and to share with others. The CSB is an original translation: more than 100 scholars from 17 denominations translated directly from the best available Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic source texts into English. Its source texts are the standard used by scholars and seminaries today. The CSB is trustworthy: the conservative, evangelical scholars of the CSB affirm the authority of Scripture as the inerrant Word of God and seek the highest level of faithfulness to the original and accuracy in their translation. These scholars and LifeWay, the non-profit ministry that stewards the CSB, also champion the Bible against cultural trends that would compromise its truths. The CSB is clear: it is as literal a translation of the ancient source texts as possible, but, in the many places throughout Scripture where a word-for-word rendering might obscure the meaning for a modern audience, it uses a more dynamic translation. In all cases, the intent is to convey the original meaning of God’s Word as faithfully and as clearly as possible. |
