Hosea 1
YHWH commands Hosea to marry Gomer, a sexually promiscuous woman, as a sign-act representing Israel's unfaithfulness to God.[3] Hosea and Gomer have three children—Jezreel, Lo-Ruhamah (No Mercy), and Lo-Ammi (Not My People)—whose names symbolize YHWH's judgment on Israel, though restoration is promised.[1]
