Jezreel; for
yet a little while,
and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause to
cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.
5 And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in
the valley of Jezreel.
6 And she conceived again, and bore a daughter. And God said to him, Call her
name Loru-ha-mah: for I will have no mercy anymore upon the house of
Israel; but I will utterly take them away.
7 But I will have mercy on the house of Judah, and will save them by the LORD
their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by
horses, nor by horsemen.
8 Now when she had weaned Loru-ha-mah, she conceived, and bore a son.
9 Then said God, Call his name Lo-ammi: for you are
not my people, and I
will not be your God.
10 Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea,
which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the
place where it was said to them, You are not my people, there it shall be said
to them, You are the sons of the living God.
