¹⁰ who in time past were no people, but now are the people of God: who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

⁹ And `Jehovah' said, Call his name Lo-ammi; for ye are not my people, and I will not be your `God'.

¹⁰ Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass that, in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, it shall be said unto them, `Ye are' the sons of the living God.

²³ And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them that were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, `Thou art' my God.

²⁵ As he saith also in Hosea, I will call that my people, which was not my people; And her beloved, that was not beloved.

²⁶ And it shall be, `that' in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, There shall they be called sons of the living God.

¹⁹ But I say, Did Israel not know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation, With a nation void of understanding will I anger you.

³⁰ For as ye in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,

²⁵ Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: but I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be trustworthy.

¹³ though I was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: howbeit I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief;

¹⁶ Let us therefore draw near with boldness unto the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace to help `us' in time of need.
