Hosea 1:3-7 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

3. And he went out and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; and she conceived and bore him a son.

4. And the Lord said to him: "Call his name Jezreel because, after a little while, I will visit the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and I will put the kingdom of the house of Israel to rest.

5. And in that day, I will crush the stronghold of Israel in the valley of Jezreel."

6. And after a while, she conceived and bore a daughter. And he said to him: "Call her name, Without Mercy, for I will no longer have mercy on the house of Israel, but I will utterly forget them.

7. Yet I will have mercy on the house of Judah, and I will save them by the Lord their God. And I will not save them by bow and sword and battle and horses and horsemen."
