Hosea 1:9; Hosea 2:1; Hosea 2:23; Romans 9:25; 1 Peter 2:10

And the Lord said, nCall his name Not My People,1 for oyou are not my people, and I am not your God.2


Israel’s Unfaithfulness Punished

1 Say to your brothers, xYou are my people,2 and to your sisters, yYou have received mercy.3


23  and sI will sow her for myself in the land.

And tI uwill have mercy on No Mercy,1

and vI will say to Not My People,2 wYou are my people;

and he shall say, You are my God.


25 As indeed he says in Hosea,

kThose who were not my people I will call my people,

and her who was not beloved I will call beloved.


10 gOnce you were not a people, but now you are God’s people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
