28:001:003 So he went and took Gomer the daughter
of Diblaim; which
conceived,
and bare him a son.
28:001:004 And the lord said unto him, Call his
name Jezreel; for yet a
little
while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon
the
house
of Jehu, and will cause to cease the kingdom of the
house
of Israel.
28:001:005 And it shall come to pass at that day,
that I will break the
bow
of Israel, in the valley of Jezreel.
28:001:006 And she conceived again, and bare a daughter.
And God said
unto
him, Call her name Loruhamah: for I will no more
have
mercy
upon the house of Israel; but I will utterly take them
away.
28:001:007 But I will have mercy upon the house of
Judah, and will save
them
by the lord their God, and will not save them
by bow, nor
by
sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen.
28:001:008 Now when she had weaned Loruhamah, she
conceived, and bare a
son.
28:001:009 Then said God, Call his name Loammi:
for ye are not my people,
and
I will not be your God.
28:001:010 Yet the number of the children of Israel
shall be as the sand
of
the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and
it
shall
come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto
them,
Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them,
Ye
are the sons of the living God.
28:001:011 Then shall the children of Judah and the
children of Israel be
gathered
together, and appoint themselves one head, and they
shall
come up out of the land: for great shall be the
day of
Jezreel.
28:002:001 Say ye unto your brethren, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah.
28:002:002 Plead with your mother, plead: for
she is not my wife, neither
am
I her husband: let her therefore put away her
whoredoms out
of
her sight, and her adulteries from between her breasts;
28:002:003 Lest I strip her naked, and set her as
in the day that she was
born,
and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry
land,
and slay her with thirst.
28:002:004 And I will not have mercy upon her children;
for they be the
children
of whoredoms.
28:002:005 For their mother hath played the harlot:
she that conceived
them
hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go
after my
lovers,
that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my
flax,
mine oil and my drink.
28:002:006 Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy
way with thorns, and
make
a wall, that she shall not find her paths.
28:002:007 And she shall follow after her lovers,
but she shall not
overtake
them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find
them:
then shall she say, I will go and return to my first
husband;
for then was it better with me than now.
