Then the Lord said:

Name him Not My People,[a]
for you are not My people,
and I will not be your God.[b](A)
10 [c]Yet the number of the Israelites
will be like the sand of the sea,(B)
which cannot be measured or counted.
And in the place where they were told:
You are not My people,
they will be called: Sons of the living God.(C)
11 And the Judeans and the Israelites
will be gathered together.(D)
They will appoint for themselves a single ruler(E)
and go up from[d] the land.
For the day of Jezreel(F) will be great.
