4. Then the Lord said to him:Name him Jezreel, for in a little whileI will bring the bloodshed of Jezreel on the house of Jehu and put an end to the kingdom of the house of Israel.

5. On that day I will break the bow of Israel in the Valley of Jezreel.

6. She conceived again and gave birth to a daughter, and the Lord said to him:Name her No Compassion, for I will no longer have compassionon the house of Israel.I will certainly take them away.
