The word H1697 of the LORD H3068 that came H1961 to Hosea, H1954 the son H1121 of Beeri, H882 in the days H3117 of Uzziah, H5818 Jotham, H3147 Ahaz, H271 and Hezekiah, H2396 kings H4428 of Judah, H3063 and in the days H3117 of Jeroboam H3379 the son H1121 of Joash, H3101 king H4428 of Israel. H3478

The beginning H8462 of the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 by Hosea. H1954 And the LORD H3068 said H559 to Hosea, H1954 Go, H3212 take H3947 to you a wife H802 of prostitutions H2183 and children H3206 of prostitutions: H2183 for the land H776 has committed H2181 great prostitution, H2181 departing from the LORD. H3068

And I will sow H2232 her to me in the earth; H776 and I will have mercy H7355 on her that had not obtained H5375 mercy; H7355 and I will say H559 to them which were not my people, H5971 You are my people; H5971 and they shall say, H559 You are my God. H430

Which G3588 in time G4218 past were not a people, G2992 but are now G3568 the people G2992 of God: G2316 which G3588 had not obtained G1653 mercy, G1653 but now G3568 have obtained G1653 mercy. G1653

To all G3956 that be in Rome, G4516 beloved G27 of God, G2316 called G2822 to be saints: G40 Grace G5485 to you and peace G1515 from God G2316 our Father, G3962 and the Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ. G5547

Now when I passed H5674 by you, and looked H7200 on you, behold, H2009 your time H6256 was the time H6256 of love; H1730 and I spread H6566 my skirt H3671 over H5921 you, and covered H3680 your nakedness: H6172 yes, I swore H7650 to you, and entered H935 into a covenant H1285 with you, said H5002 the Lord H136 GOD, H3069 and you became H1961 mine.

For the Father G3962 himself G846 loves G5368 you, because G3754 you have loved G5368 me, and have believed G4100 that I came G1831 out from God. G2316
