I will not show my love to her children, because they are the children of adultery.

Upon her children also I will have no mercy, because they are children of whoredom.

And I will not love her children, for they were conceived in prostitution.

I will have no compassion on her children because they are the children of promiscuity.

Also, I will take no pity on her children, Because they are children of infidelity.

“ I will not have mercy on her children, For they are the children of harlotry.

Yea, upon her children will I have no mercy; for they are children of whoredom;

I will have no compassion on her children because they are the children of promiscuity.

And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they[ be] the children of whoredoms.

I will have no pity on her children, because they are children conceived in adultery.

Indeed, on her children I will have no mercy; for they are children of unfaithfulness;

Gomer became pregnant again. She had a daughter. Then the Lord said to Hosea,“ Name her Lo- Ruhamah.” Lo- Ruhamah means Not Loved.“ That’s because I will no longer show love to the people of Israel. I will not forgive them anymore.

I will smash them against one another. I will punish parents and children alike,” announces the Lord.“ I will not feel sorry for them. I will not show them any kindness. My tender love for them will not keep me from destroying them.” ’ ”

The Lord began to speak through Hosea. He said to him,“ Go. Marry a woman who has sex with anyone she wants. Have children with her. Do this because the people of the land are like that kind of wife. They have not been faithful to me.”

So I am angry with them. I will punish them. I will not spare them or feel sorry for them. They might even shout in my ears. But I will not listen to them.”

The Lord says,“ Jeremiah, suppose a meal is being served because someone has died. Do not enter any house where that is happening. Do not go there to mourn or to comfort the family. I will not bless these people anymore. I have taken my love and pity away from them,” announces the Lord.

So God does what he wants to do. He shows mercy to one person and makes another stubborn.

You are doing what your own father does.”“ We have the right to claim to be God’s children,” they objected.“ The only Father we have is God himself.”

When Joram saw Jehu he asked,“ Have you come here in peace, Jehu?”“ Your mother Jezebel worships statues of gods,” Jehu replied.“ She also worships evil powers. The evil things she does have spread everywhere. As long as all of that goes on, how can there be peace?”

Then the angel of the Lord spoke up. He said,“ Lord, you rule over all. How long will you keep from showing your tender love to Jerusalem? How long will you keep it from the towns of Judah? You have been angry with them for 70 years.”

When their twigs are dry, they will be broken off. Then women will come and make fires with them. The people of Jacob don’t understand the Lord. So the God who made them won’t be concerned about them. Their Creator won’t be kind to them.

Those who have not shown mercy will not receive mercy when they are judged. To show mercy is better than to judge.

The Lord says,“ Come here, you children of women who practice evil magic! You are children of prostitutes and those who commit adultery.

So I will not spare them or feel sorry for them. Anything that happens to them will be their own fault.”

Think about how kind God is! Also think about how firm he is! He was hard on those who stopped following him. But he is kind to you. So you must continue to live in his kindness. If you don’t, you also will be cut off.
