Chapter summary
The word of Jehovah comes to Hosea in the last decades of the northern kingdom, and the first command is a marriage: 'Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredom.' Gomer bears three children whose names are the sermon: Jezreel, blood to be avenged; Lo-ruhamah, 'that hath not obtained mercy'; and Lo-ammi, 'ye are not my people.' Yet the chapter refuses to end there: Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, and where it was said 'Ye are not my people' it shall be said 'Ye are the sons of the living God' (1:10): Paul quotes it in Romans 9, Peter echoes it in 1 Peter 2.
