Hosea 1:5-7
Contemporary English Version
5 and in Jezreel Valley I will break the power of Israel.”
6 Later, Gomer had a daughter, and the Lord said, “Name her Lo-Ruhamah,[a] because I will no longer have mercy and forgive Israel. 7 But I am the Lord God of Judah, and I will have mercy and save Judah by my own power—not by wars and arrows or swords and cavalry.”

Hosea 1:5-7
New International Version
5 In that day I will break Israel’s bow in the Valley of Jezreel.(A)”
6 Gomer(B) conceived again and gave birth to a daughter. Then the Lord said to Hosea, “Call her Lo-Ruhamah (which means “not loved”),(C) for I will no longer show love to Israel,(D) that I should at all forgive them. 7 Yet I will show love to Judah; and I will save them—not by bow,(E) sword or battle, or by horses and horsemen, but I, the Lord their God,(F) will save them.”
