1 The LORD spoke his word to Hosea, son of Beeri, when Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah were kings of Judah and when Jeroboam, son of Joash, was king of Israel. 2 When the LORD first spoke to Hosea, the LORD told him, |Marry a prostitute, and have children with that prostitute. The people in this land have acted like prostitutes and abandoned the LORD.| 3 So Hosea married Gomer, daughter of Diblaim. She became pregnant and had a son. Hosea 1:1-3, God's Word Translation.
