Hosea 1:4-9
4The Lord told Hosea, “Name him Jezreel. In a little while I will punish Jehu’s family for the people they slaughtered at Jezreel. Then I will put an end to the kingdom of Israel.
5On that day I will break Israel’s bows and arrows in the valley of Jezreel.”
6Gomer became pregnant again and had a daughter. The Lord told Hosea, “Name her Lo Ruhamah [Unloved]. I will no longer love the nation of Israel. I will no longer forgive them.
7Yet, I will love the descendants of Judah. I will rescue them because I am the Lord their God. I won’t use bows, swords, wars, horses, or horsemen to rescue them.”
8After Gomer had weaned Lo Ruhamah, she became pregnant again and had a son.
9The Lord said, “Name him Lo Ammi [Not My People]. You are no longer my people, and I am no longer your God.
