Hosea 1:3-7 God's Word Translation (GW)

3. So Hosea married Gomer, daughter of Diblaim. She became pregnant and had a son.

4. The 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.

5. On that day I will break Israel’s bows and arrows in the valley of Jezreel.”

6. Gomer 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.

7. Yet, 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.”
