6 She conceived again and gave birth to a daughter, and the Lord said to him:

Name her Lo-ruhamah,B

for I will no longer have compassion

on the house of Israel.

7 But I will have compassion on the house of Judah,m

and I will deliver them by the Lord their God.n

I will not deliver them by bow, sword, or war,

or by horses and cavalry.o

Name him Lo-ammi,C

for you are not my people,

and I will not be your God.D,p
