Hosea 1:4-11
4And the Lord said to him, “Call his name Jezreel, for in just a little while aI will punish the house of Jehu for the blood of Jezreel, and bI will put an end to the kingdom of the house of Israel. 5And on that day cI will break the bow of Israel din the Valley of Jezreel.”6She conceived again and bore a daughter. And the Lord said to him, e“Call her name No Mercy, ▼
▼Hebrew Lo-ruhama, which means she has not received mercy
for gI will no more have mercy on the house of Israel, to forgive them at all. 7But hI will have mercy on the house of Judah, and I will save them by the Lord their God. I iwill not save them by bow or by sword or by war or by horses or by horsemen.” 8When she had weaned No Mercy, she conceived and bore a son. 9And the Lord said, j“Call his name Not My People, ▼
▼Hebrew Lo-ammi, which means not my people
for lyou are not my people, and I am not your God.” ▼▼Hebrew I am not yours
