Hosea 1:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 And at that [a]day will I also break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.
6 She conceived yet again, and bare a daughter, and God said unto him, Call her name [b]Lo-Ruhamah: for I will no more have pity upon the house of Israel: but I will utterly [c]take them away.
7 Yet I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will [d]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.
