And he[a] said, “Name him[b] Lo-ammi,[c]
    for you are not my people
    and I am not your God.[d]
10 [e] The number of the children of Israel
    will be like the sand of the sea
    that cannot be measured or counted;
and in the place where it is said to them,
    “You are not my people,”
it will be said to them,
    “Children of the living God.”
11 Then the children of Judah
    and Israel will be gathered together,
and they will appoint for themselves
    one head;
and they will take possession of[f] the land,
    for great is the day of Jezreel.[g]
