2 La première fois que l’Éternel adressa la parole à Osée, l’Éternel dit à Osée: Va, prends une femme prostituée et des enfants de prostitution; car le pays se prostitue, il abandonne l’Éternel!

3 Il alla, et il prit Gomer, fille de Diblaïm. Elle conçut, et lui enfanta un fils.

4 Et l’Éternel lui dit: Appelle-le du nom de Jizreel; car encore un peu de temps, et je châtierai la maison de Jéhu pour le sang versé à Jizreel, je mettrai fin au royaume de la maison d’Israël.

5 En ce jour-là, je briserai l’arc d’Israël dans la vallée de Jizreel.

6 Elle conçut de nouveau, et enfanta une fille. Et l’Éternel dit à Osée: Donne-lui le nom de Lo-Ruchama; car je n’aurai plus pitié de la maison d’Israël, je ne lui pardonnerai plus.
