4 And the Lord said to him: Call his name Jezrahel: for yet a little while, and I will visit the blood of Jezrahel upon the house of Jehu, and I will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel. 5 And in that day I will break in pieces the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezrahel. 6 And she conceived again, and bore a daughter, and he said to him: Call her name, Without mercy: for I will not add any more to have mercy on the house of Israel, but I will utterly forget them. 7 And I will have mercy on the house of Juda, and I will save them by the Lord their God: and Iwill not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, nor by horses, nor by horsemen. 8 And she weaned her that was called Without mercy. And she conceived, and bore a son. 9 And he said: Call his name, Not my people: for you are not my people, and I will not be yours. Hosea 1:4-9, Douay-Rheims Bible. Public domain.
