Hosea 1:9-10
Hosea 1:8-11 The Message (MSG)
After Gomer had weaned No-Mercy, she got pregnant yet again and had a son. GOD said: “Name him Nobody. You’ve become nobodies to me, and I, GOD, am a nobody to you. “But down the road the population of Israel is going to explode past counting, like sand on the ocean beaches. In the very place where they were once named Nobody, they will be named God’s Somebody. Everybody in Judah and everybody in Israel will be assembled as one people. They’ll choose a single leader. There’ll be no stopping them—a great day in Jezreel!”
