Hosea

Hosea 1:9–10

9And the LORD said, “Name him Lo-ammi,d for you are not My people, and I am not your God.e

10Yet the number of the Israelites will be like the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured or counted. And it will happen that in the very place where it was said to them, ‘You are not My people,’ they will be called ‘sons of the living God.’f
