Hosea 1:6-11 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

6. Gomer became pregnant again and gave birth to a daughter. The Lord said to Hosea, “Name her Lo-Ruhamah. This is because I will not pity Israel anymore. I will no longer forgive them.

7. But I will show pity to the people of Judah. I will save them. I will not use bows or swords, horses or horsemen, or weapons of war to save them. I, the Lord their God, will save them.”

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

9. The Lord said, “Name him Lo-Ammi because you are not my people. And I am not your God.

10. “But the people of Israel will become like the grains of sand of the sea. You cannot measure or count them. Now it is said to Israel, ‘You are not my people.’ But later they will be called ‘children of the living God.’

11. Then the people of Judah and Israel will be joined together again. They will choose one leader for themselves. And again they will grow in their land. The day of Jezreel, when God plants, will be truly great.
