Hosea 1:4-9 ▼

4 And Yahweh said to him, “Name him Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will visit the bloodshed of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and I will cause the kingdom of the house of Israel to cease.

5 And it will be in that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.”

6 Then she conceived again and gave birth to a daughter. And Yahweh said to him, “Name her Lo-ruhamah, for I will no longer have compassion on the house of Israel, that I would ever forgive them.

7 But I will have compassion on the house of Judah and save them by Yahweh their God, and I will not save them by bow, sword, battle, horses, or horsemen.”

8 Then she weaned Lo-ruhamah. And she conceived and gave birth to a son.

9 And Yahweh said, “Name him Lo-ammi, for you are not My people, and I am not your God.”
