Hosea 1:9-11
EasyEnglish Bible
9 Then the Lord said, ‘Call him Lo-Ammi.[a] This is because you Israelites are not my people. I am not your God.’
A promise about Israel's future
10 In the future, nobody will be able to count the number of Israel's people. They will be as much as the sand on the shore of the sea. God has said to them, ‘You are not my people.’ But at that time, he will say to them, ‘You are children of the God who lives!’ 11 Then the people of Judah and the people of Israel will come together again. They will choose a single leader to rule them. They will return to live in their own land. They will know that the day of Jezreel is a great day.
