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

“ I won’t show my love to her children. They are the children of other men.

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

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;

Soon Gomer became pregnant again and gave birth to a daughter. And the Lord said to Hosea,“ Name your daughter Lo ruhamah—‘ Not loved’— for I will no longer show love to the people of Israel or forgive them.

I will smash them against each other, even parents against children, says the Lord. I will not let my pity or mercy or compassion keep me from destroying them.’”

When the Lord first began speaking to Israel through Hosea, he said to him,“ Go and marry a prostitute, so that some of her children will be conceived in prostitution. This will illustrate how Israel has acted like a prostitute by turning against the Lord and worshiping other gods.”

Therefore, I will respond in fury. I will neither pity nor spare them. And though they cry for mercy, I will not listen.”

This is what the Lord says:“ Do not go to funerals to mourn and show sympathy for these people, for I have removed my protection and peace from them. I have taken away my unfailing love and my mercy.

So you see, God chooses to show mercy to some, and he chooses to harden the hearts of others so they refuse to listen.

No, you are imitating your real father.” They replied,“ We aren’t illegitimate children! God himself is our true Father.”

King Joram demanded,“ Do you come in peace, Jehu?” Jehu replied,“ How can there be peace as long as the idolatry and witchcraft of your mother, Jezebel, are all around us?”

Upon hearing this, the angel of the Lord prayed this prayer:“ O Lord of Heaven’s Armies, for seventy years now you have been angry with Jerusalem and the towns of Judah. How long until you again show mercy to them?”

The people are like the dead branches of a tree, broken off and used for kindling beneath the cooking pots. Israel is a foolish and stupid nation, for its people have turned away from God. Therefore, the one who made them will show them no pity or mercy.

There will be no mercy for those who have not shown mercy to others. But if you have been merciful, God will be merciful when he judges you.

“ But you— come here, you witches’ children, you offspring of adulterers and prostitutes!

So I will not spare them or have any pity on them. I will fully repay them for all they have done.”

Notice how God is both kind and severe. He is severe toward those who disobeyed, but kind to you if you continue to trust in his kindness. But if you stop trusting, you also will be cut off.
