1 WYC The word of the Lord that was maad to Osee, the sone of Bery, in the daies of Osie, Joathan, Achas, Ezechie, kingis of Juda, and in the daies of Jeroboam, sone of Joas, the kyng of Israel. BSB BSB: This is the word of the LORD that came to Hosea son of Beeri in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and of Jeroboam son of Jehoash, king of Israel. 3 WYC And he yede, and took Gomer, the douyter of Debelaym; and sche conseyuede, and childide a sone to hym. BSB BSB: So Hosea went and married Gomer daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son.
5 WYC And in that dai Y schal al to-breke the bowe of Israel in the valei of Jesrael. BSB BSB: And on that day I will break the bow of Israel in the Valley of Jezreel.”
6 WYC And sche conseyuede yit, and childide a douyter. And the Lord seide to hym, Clepe thou the name of hir With out merci, for Y schal no more leye to, for to haue merci on the hous of Israel, but bi foryetyng Y schal foryete hem. BSB BSB: Gomer again conceived and gave birth to a daughter, and the LORD said to Hosea, “Name her Lo-ruhamah, for I will no longer have compassion on the house of Israel, that I should ever forgive them.
7 WYC And Y schal haue merci on the hous of Juda, and Y schal saue hem in her Lord God; and Y schal not saue hem in bowe, and swerd, and batel, and in horsis, and in horse men, ether kniytis. BSB BSB: Yet I will have compassion on the house of Judah, and I will save them—not by bow or sword or war, not by horses and cavalry, but by the LORD their God.”
8 WYC And he wenyde hir that was With out merci. And sche conseyuede, and childide a sone to hym. BSB BSB: After she had weaned Lo-ruhamah, Gomer conceived and gave birth to a son.
9 WYC And he seide, Clepe thou his name Not my puple, for ye schulen not be my puple, and Y schal not be youre God. BSB BSB: And the LORD said, “Name him Lo-ammi, for you are not My people, and I am not your God.
10 WYC And the noumbre of the sones of Israel schal be as grauel of the see, which grauel is with out mesure, and it schal not be noumbrid; and it schal be in the place, where it schal be seid to hem, Ye ben not my puple; it schal be seid to hem, Ye ben the sones of God lyuynge. BSB BSB: Yet the number of the Israelites will be like the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured or counted. And it will happen that in the very place where it was said to them, ‘You are not My people,’ they will be called ‘sons of the living God.’
11 WYC And the sones of Juda and the sones of Israel schulen be gaderid togidere, and thei schulen sette oon heed to hem silf, and thei schulen stie fro erthe, for the dai of Jesrael is greet. BSB BSB: Then the people of Judah and of Israel will be gathered together, and they will appoint for themselves one leader, and will go up out of the land. For great will be the day of Jezreel.
