Hosea 1:6-9

The Message

“Name this one No-Mercy. I’m fed up with Israel.
    I’ve run out of mercy. There’s no more forgiveness.
Judah’s another story. I’ll continue having mercy on them.
    I’ll save them. It will be their God who saves them,
Not their armaments and armies,
    not their horsepower and manpower.”

“Name him Nobody. You’ve become nobodies to me,
    and I, God, am a nobody to you.
