Hosea 1:6-9 Good News Bible Anglicised (GNBDC)

6. 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.

7. 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.”

8. After Gomer had weaned her daughter, she became pregnant again and had another son.

9. 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.”
