2 When Jehovah started to speak his word through Ho·seʹa, Jehovah said to Ho·seʹa: “Go, marry a woman of prostitution* and have children of prostitution,* because by prostitution* the land has turned completely away from following Jehovah.”+

3 So he went and married Goʹmer the daughter of Dib·laʹim, and she conceived and bore him a son.
