Hosea 1:5-11 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

5. and in Jezreel Valley I will break the power of Israel.”

6. Later, Gomer had a daughter, and the Lord said, “Name her Lo-Ruhamah, because I will no longer have mercy and forgive Israel.

7. But I am the Lord God of Judah, and I will have mercy and save Judah by my own power—not by wars and arrows or swords and cavalry.”

8. After Gomer had stopped nursing Lo-Ruhamah, she had another son.

9. Then the Lord said, “Name him Lo-Ammi, because these people are not mine, and I am not their God.”

10. Some day it will be impossible to count the people of Israel, because there will be as many of them as there are grains of sand along the seashore. They are now called “Not My People”, but in the future they will be called “Children of the Living God”.

11. Israel and Judah will unite and choose one leader. Then they will take back their land, and this will be a great day for Jezreel.
