So he took as his wife Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim, and she gave birth to a son.

And after that she gave birth to a daughter. And the Lord said, Give her the name Lo-ruhamah; for I will not again have mercy on Israel, to give them forgiveness.

Now when Lo-ruhamah had been taken from the breast, the woman gave birth to a son.

And the Lord said to me, Give your love again to a woman who has a lover and is false to her husband, even as the Lord has love for the children of Israel, though they are turned to other gods and are lovers of grape-cakes.
