Hosea 1:3-9

Hosea 1:3-9 AMP

So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son. And the LORD said to him, “Name him Jezreel; for yet in a little while I will avenge the blood [that was shed in the Valley] of Jezreel and inflict the punishment for it on the house of Jehu, and I will put an end to the kingdom of the house of Israel. [2 Kin 10:1-11] On that day I will break the bow [of the military power] of Israel in the Valley of Jezreel.” Then Gomer conceived again and gave birth to a daughter. And the LORD said to Hosea, “Name her Lo-Ruhamah (not shown mercy), for I will no longer have mercy on the house of Israel, that I would ever forgive them. But I will have mercy on the house of Judah and will rescue them by the LORD their God, and will not rescue them by bow, sword, war, horses, or horsemen.” [Is 31:8; 37:33-35] Now when Gomer had weaned Lo-Ruhamah, she conceived and gave birth to a son. And the LORD said, “Name him Lo-Ammi (not my people), for you are not My people and I am not your God.”
