Hosea 1:4 in Context — Hosea 1

2 El principio de la palabra de Jehová con Oseas. Y dijo Jehová á Oseas: Ve, tómate una mujer fornicaria, é hijos de fornicaciones: porque la tierra se dará á fornicar apartándose de Jehová.

3 Fué pues, y tomó á Gomer hija de Diblaim, la cual concibió y le parió un hijo.

4 Y díjole Jehová: Ponle por nombre Jezreel; porque de aquí á poco yo visitaré las sangres de Jezreel sobre la casa de Jehú, y haré cesar el reino de la casa de Israel.

5 Y acaecerá que en aquel día quebraré yo el arco de Israel en el valle de Jezreel.

6 Y concibió aún, y parió una hija. Y díjole [Dios]: Ponle por nombre Lo-ruhama: porque no más tendré misericordia de la casa de Israel, sino que los quitaré del todo.
