3. So he married Gomer daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son.
4. Then the Lord said to Hosea, ‘Call him Jezreel, because I will soon punish the house of Jehu for the massacre at Jezreel, and I will put an end to the kingdom of Israel.
5. In that day I will break Israel’s bow in the Valley of Jezreel.’
6. Gomer conceived again and gave birth to a daughter. Then the Lord said to Hosea, ‘Call her Lo-Ruhamah (which means “not loved”), for I will no longer show love to Israel, that I should at all forgive them.
7. Yet I will show love to Judah; and I will save them – not by bow, sword or battle, or by horses and horsemen, but I, the Lord their God, will save them.’
8. After she had weaned Lo-Ruhamah, Gomer had another son.
