Go and marry a promiscuous wife^(F)
and have children of promiscuity,
for the land is committing blatant acts of promiscuity
by abandoning the Lord.

Name him Jezreel,^(H) for in a little while
I will bring the bloodshed of Jezreel^(I)
on the house of Jehu^(J)
and put an end to the kingdom of the house of Israel.
⁵ On that day I will break the bow of Israel^(K)
in the Valley of Jezreel.^[a](L)

Name her No Compassion,^[b]
for I will no longer have compassion
on the house of Israel.
I will certainly take them away.
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 Not My People,^[c]
for you are not My people,
and I will not be your God.^{[d](P)
10 [e]}Yet the number of the Israelites
will be like the sand of the sea,^(Q)
which cannot be measured or counted.
And in the place where they were told:
You are not My people,
they will be called: Sons of the living God.^(R)
11 And the Judeans and the Israelites
will be gathered together.^(S)
They will appoint for themselves a single ruler^(T)
and go up from^[f] the land.
For the day of Jezreel^(U) will be great.
