English Standard Version

⁶ She conceived again and bore a daughter. And the Lord said to him, ^(A)“Call her name No Mercy,^[a] for ^(B)I will no more have mercy on the house of Israel, to forgive them at all. ⁷ But ^(C)I will have mercy on the house of Judah, and I will save them by the Lord their God. I ^(D)will not save them by bow or by sword or by war or by horses or by horsemen.”

⁸ When she had weaned No Mercy, she conceived and bore a son. ⁹ And the Lord said, ^(E)“Call his name Not My People,^[b] for ^(F)you are not my people, and I am not your God.”^[c]
