And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel, in the valley of Jezreel.

Verse 5 is found in chapter 1 of Hosea. The birth of the first son is given the name Jezreel, associated with the valley and with bloody events in Israel’s history. The name functions as a prophetic sign against the house of Jehu and announces that Israel’s military power is not a guarantee of security. God declares that he will break Israel’s bow, using a symbol of military strength to announce its weakening.

Zur selben Zeit will ich den Bogen Israels zerbrechen im Tal Jesreel.
Y acaecerá que en aquel día quebraré yo el arco de Israel en el valle de Jezreel.
En aquel día quebraré el arco de Israel en el valle de Jezreel».
En ce jour-là, je briserai l'arc d'Israël dans la vallée de Jizreel.
E in quel giorno avverrà che io romperò l’areo d’Israele nella valle d’Izreel.
E naquele dia quebrarei o arco de Israel no vale de Jizreel.
到那日,我必在 耶斯列 平原折斷 以色列 的弓。」
