Hosea 1:6-10

Gomer had a second child—this time it was a daughter. The LORD said to Hosea, “Name her ‘Unloved,’ because I will no longer show love to the people of Israel or forgive them. But to the people of Judah I will show love. I, the LORD their God, will save them, but I will not do it by war—with swords or bows and arrows or with horses and horsemen.” After Gomer had weaned her daughter, she became pregnant again and had another son. The LORD said to Hosea, “Name him ‘Not-My-People,’ because the people of Israel are not my people, and I am not their God.” The people of Israel will become like the sand of the sea, more than can be counted or measured. Now God says to them, “You are not my people,” but the day is coming when he will say to them, “You are the children of the living God!”
