She conceived again and gave birth to a daughter, and the Lord said to him:

Name her No Compassion,
for I will no longer have compassion
on the house of Israel.
I will certainly take them away.

Therefore, I will take back My grain in its time
and My new wine in its season;
I will take away My wool and linen,
which were to cover her nakedness.

I will take you to be My wife forever.
I will take you to be My wife in righteousness,
justice, love, and compassion.

I will take you to be My wife in faithfulness,
and you will know Yahweh.

Promiscuity, wine, and new wine
take away one’s understanding.

For even if they flee from devastation,
Egypt will gather them, and Memphis will bury them.
Thistles will take possession of their precious silver;
thorns will invade their tents.

The calf itself will be taken to Assyria
as an offering to the great king.
Ephraim will experience shame;
Israel will be ashamed of its counsel.

Israel, you have sinned
since the days of Gibeah;
they have taken their stand there.
Will not war against the unjust
overtake them in Gibeah?

I give you a king in My anger
and take away a king in My wrath.

Take words of repentance with you
and return to the Lord.
Say to Him: “Forgive all our sin
and accept what is good,
so that we may repay You
with praise from our lips.

I will be like the dew to Israel;
he will blossom like the lily
and take root like the cedars of Lebanon.
