3. So I married Gomer the daughter of Diblaim, and we had a son.
4. Then the Lord said, “Hosea, name your son Jezreel, because I will soon punish the descendants of King Jehu of Israel for the murders he committed in Jezreel Valley. I will destroy his kingdom,
5. and in Jezreel Valley I will break the power of Israel.”
6. Later, Gomer had a daughter, and the Lord said, “Name her Lo-Ruhamah, because I will no longer have mercy and forgive Israel.
7. But I am the Lord God of Judah, and I will have mercy and save Judah by my own power—not by wars and arrows or swords and cavalry.”
8. After Gomer had stopped nursing Lo-Ruhamah, she had another son.
9. Then the Lord said, “Name him Lo-Ammi, because these people are not mine, and I am not their God.”
