Hosea 1:4-9

4And the Lord said to him, "Call his name Jezreel, for in just a little while I will punish the house of Jehu for the blood of Jezreel, and I will put an end to the kingdom of the house of Israel.

5And on that day I will break the bow of Israel in the Valley of Jezreel."

6She conceived again and bore a daughter. And the Lord said to him, "Call her name No Mercy, for I will no more have mercy on the house of Israel, to forgive them at all.

7But I will have mercy on the house of Judah, and I will save them by the Lord their God. I will 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, "Call his name Not My People, for you are not my people, and I am not your God."
