The Prophecy
of Osee 1
The word of the Lord, that came to Osee the son of Beeri,
in the days of Ozias, Joathan, Achaz, and Ezechias kings
of Juda, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joas
king of Israel.
The beginning of the Lord's speaking by Osse: and the
Lord said to Osee: Go, take thee a wife of fornications,
and have of her children of fornications: for the land
by fornication shall depart from the Lord.
So he went, and took Gomer the daughter of Debelaim:
and she conceived and bore him a son.
And the Lord said to him: Call his name Jezrahel: for
yet a little while, and I will visit the blood of Jezrahel
upon the house of Jehu, and I will cause to cease the
kingdom of the house of Israel.
And in that day I will break in pieces the bow of Israel
in the valley of Jezrahel.
And she conceived again, and bore a daughter, and he
said to him: Call her name, Without mercy: for I will
not add any more to have mercy on the house of Israel,
but I will utterly forget them.
And I will have mercy on the house of Juda, and I will
save them by the Lord their God: and Iwill not save
them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, nor by horses,
nor by horsemen.
And she weaned her that was called Without mercy. And
she conceived, and bore a son.
And he said: Call his name, Not my people: for you are
not my people, and I will not be yours.
And the number of the children of Israel shall be as
the sand of the sea, that is without measure, and shall
not be numbered. And it shall be in the place where
it shall be said to them: You are not my people: it
shall be said to them: Ye are the sons of the living
God.
And the children of Juda, and the children of Israel
shall be gathered together: and they shall appoint themselves
one head, and shall come up out of the land: for great
is the day of Jezrahel.
