Hosea 1:10-11
1599 Geneva Bible
10 Yet the number of the [a]children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor told: and in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God.
11 Then shall the children of Judah, and the children of Israel be [b]gathered together, and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up out of the land: for great is the [c]day of Jezreel.
