¶ The fyrst Chatper. ¶ The tyme wherin Oseas prophecyed. Oseas by takynge an harlot to hys wyfe, signifyeth the Idolatrye of the people. The destruccion of the offprynge of Iehu, ∧ of the Israelytes, is prophecyed.

A   This is the worde of the Lorde, that came vnto Oseas the sonne of Beery note in the days of Oseas, Ioathan, Ahas and Iezekias kynges of Iuda: and in the tyme of Ierobo&abar; sonne of Ioas kinge of Israel.

Fyrst, when the Lorde spake vnto Oseas &rhand; he sayde vnto hym. noteGo thy waye, take an harlott to thy wyfe, and get chyldren by her: for the lande hath commytted greate whordome agaynst the Lorde. So he wente, ∧ toke Gomer the daughter of Deblaim: whych conceaued, and brought forth a sonne. And the Lorde sayde vnto hym: call hys name Iesrael, for note &rhand; I wyll shortly au&ebar;ge the bloude of note Iesrael vpon the house of Iehu, ∧ wyll brynge the kyngdome of the house of Israel to an ende. Then wyll I breake the bowe of Israel, in the valley of Iesrael.

She conceaued yet agayne, and bare a daughter. And he sayde vnto hym. Call her name. Loruhamah (that is, not optayninge mercy) note for I wyll haue no pytie vpon the house of Israel, but forget them and put th&ebar; cleane out of remembraunce. note C   Neuerthelesse, I wyll haue mercy vpon the house of Iuda, and wyll saue th&ebar;, euen thorowe the Lorde theyr God. But I wyll not delyuer them thorowe eny bowe, swearde, battell, horses or horsmen.

Nowe, wh&ebar; she had weaned Loruhamah, she conceaued agayne, and bare a sonne. Then sayde he: call hys name, Loamy. D   For why? ye are not my people, therfore will not I be your God. And though the nombre of the chyldren of Israel be as the sande of the see, whych can nether be measured ner tolde: yet in the place where it is sayde vnto th&ebar; note ye be not my people: euen there shall it be thus reported of them note they be the chyldren of the lyuynge God. noteThen shall the chyldr&ebar; of Iuda and the chyldren of Israel be gathered together agayne and chose them selues one head, and then departe out of the lande: for greate shalbe the daye of Israel.
