Hosea 1:3-6 New Living Translation (NLT)

3. So Hosea married Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim, and she became pregnant and gave Hosea a son.

4. And the lord said, “Name the child Jezreel, for I am about to punish King Jehu’s dynasty to avenge the murders he committed at Jezreel. In fact, I will bring an end to Israel’s independence.

5. I will break its military power in the Jezreel Valley.”

6. Soon Gomer became pregnant again and gave birth to a daughter. And the lord said to Hosea, “Name your daughter Lo-ruhamah—‘Not loved’—for I will no longer show love to the people of Israel or forgive them.
