Name him Not My People,
for you are not My people,
and I will not be your God.

will be like the sand of the sea,
which cannot be measured or counted.

You are not My people,
they will be called: Sons of the living God.
And the Judeans and the Israelites
will be gathered together.
They will appoint for themselves a single ruler
and go up from the land.
For the day of Jezreel will be great.
