Hosea 1:5-10 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

5. And at that time I will break Israel’s bow at Jezreel Valley.”

6. Then Gomer became pregnant again and gave birth to a daughter. The Lord said to Hosea, “Name her Lo-Ruhamah, because I will not show mercy to the nation of Israel anymore, nor will I forgive them.

7. But I will show mercy to the nation of Judah. I will save them, but I will not use bows or swords or war horses and soldiers to save them. I will save them by my own power.”

8. After Gomer had finished nursing Lo-Ruhamah, she became pregnant again and gave birth to a son.

9. Then the Lord said, “Name him Lo-Ammi, because you are not my people, and I am not your God.”

10. “In the future the number of the people of Israel will be like the sand of the sea, which you cannot measure or count. In the same place that God told them, ‘You are not my people,’ he will call them ‘children of the Living God.’
