Hosea 2:21-23
Easy-to-Read Version
21 And at that time I will answer.” This is what the Lord says.
“I will speak to the skies,
and they will give rain to the earth.
22 The earth will produce grain, wine, and oil,
and they will meet Jezreel’s needs.
23 I will sow her many seeds[a] on her land.
To Lo-Ruhamah,[b] I will show mercy.
To Lo-Ammi,[c] I will say, ‘You are my people.’
And they will say to me, ‘You are our God.’”
Footnotes
- Hosea 2:23 I will sow her many seeds Jezreel, Lo-Ruhamah, and Lo-Ammi are Hosea’s children. But the names also have special meanings. The name Jezreel means “God will plant seeds.” But Jezreel is also the name of a large valley in Israel. This probably shows that God will bring his people back to Israel.
- Hosea 2:23 Lo-Ruhamah This name in Hebrew means “She receives no mercy.”
- Hosea 2:23 Lo-Ammi This name in Hebrew means “not my people.”
