1當烏西雅、約坦、亞哈斯、希西家作猶大王，約阿施的兒子耶羅波安作以色列王的時候，耶和華的話臨到備利的兒子何西阿。
何西阿的妻子和兒女
2耶和華初次向何西阿說話。耶和華對他說：「你去娶一個淫蕩的女子為妻，收那從淫亂所生的兒女；因為這地行大淫亂，離棄耶和華。」
3於是，何西阿去娶了滴拉音的女兒歌篾。她就懷孕，為何西阿生了一個兒子。
4耶和華對何西阿說：「給他起名叫耶斯列⚓；因為再過片時，我要懲罰耶戶家在耶斯列流人血的罪，也必終結以色列家的王朝。
5到那日，我必在耶斯列平原折斷以色列的弓。」
6歌篾又懷孕，生了一個女兒，耶和華對何西阿說：「給她起名叫羅‧路哈瑪⚓；因為我必不再憐憫以色列家，絕不赦免他們。
7我卻要憐憫猶大家，使他們靠耶和華－他們的上帝得救；我必不讓他們靠弓、刀、戰爭、馬匹與騎兵得救。」
8歌篾在羅‧路哈瑪斷奶以後，又懷孕生了一個兒子。
9耶和華說：「給他起名叫羅‧阿米⚓；因為你們不是我的子民，我也不是你們的上帝⚓。」
以色列將要復興
10然而，以色列的人數必多如海沙，不可量，不可數。從前在甚麼地方對他們說「你們不是我的子民」，將來就在那裏稱他們為「永生上帝的兒子」。
11猶大人和以色列人要一同聚集，為自己設立一個「頭」，從這地上來，因為耶斯列的日子必為大日。
