Hosea 1:9-11

Living Bible

⁹ And God said, “Call him Lo-ammi (meaning ‘Not mine’), for Israel is not mine and I am not her God.

¹⁰ “Yet the time will come when Israel shall prosper and become a great nation; in that day her people will be too numerous to count—like sand along a seashore! Then, instead of saying to them, ‘You are not my people,’ I will tell them, ‘You are my sons, children of the Living God.’ ¹¹ Then the people of Judah and Israel will unite and have one leader; they will return from exile together; what a day that will be—the day when God will sow his people in the fertile soil of their own land again.^[a]
