New Testament

Hosea 1:7-11 New Century Version (NCV)

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

8. After Gomer had stopped nursing Lo-Ruhamah, she became pregnant again and 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 number of the Israelites will become like the grains of sand of the sea, which no one can measure or count. They were called, ‘You are not my people,’ but later they will be called ‘children of the living God.’

11. The people of Judah and Israel will join together again and will choose one leader for themselves. They will come up from the land, because the day of Jezreel will be truly great.
