And he said, Go your way, Daniel; for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end.

But you go your way until the end; for you shall rest, and shall stand in your lot, at the end of the days.

When Yahweh spoke at the first by Hosea, Yahweh said to Hosea, Go, take to yourself a wife of prostitution and children of prostitution; for the land commits great prostitution, [departing] from Yahweh.

And Yahweh said to him, Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel on the house of Jehu, and will cause the kingdom of the house of Israel to cease.

And she became pregnant again, and gave birth to a daughter. And [Yahweh] said to him, Call her name Lo-ruhamah; for I will no more have mercy on the house of Israel, that I should in any wise pardon them.

And [Yahweh] said, Call his name Lo-ammi; for you are not my people, and I will not be your [God].

And the sons of Judah and the sons of Israel shall be gathered together, and they shall appoint themselves one head, and shall go up from the land; for great shall be the day of Jezreel.

Contend with your mother, contend; for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband; and let her put away her prostitution from her face, and her adulteries from between her breasts;

Yes, on her sons I will have no mercy; for they are sons of prostitution;

for their mother has prostituted; she that became pregnant with them has done shamefully; for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.

And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then it was better with me than now.

For she did not know that I gave her the grain, and the new wine, and the oil, and multiplied to her silver and gold, which they used for Baal.

And I will give her her vineyards from there, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope; and she shall answer there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.

For I will take away the names of the Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be mentioned by their name.

And in that day I will make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the birds of the heavens, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the land, and will make them to lie down safely.

So I bought her to me for fifteen [pieces] of silver, and a homer of barley, and a half-homer of barley;

and I said to her, You shall abide for me many days; you shall not prostitute, and you shall not be any man's wife: so I will also be toward you.

For the sons of Israel shall abide many days without king, and without prince, and without sacrifice, and without pillar, and without ephod or talismans:

Hear the word of Yahweh, you sons of Israel; for Yahweh has a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor goodness, nor knowledge of God in the land.

Yet let no man strive, neither let any man reprove; for your people are as those that strive with the priest.
