Hosea 1:6

“Then again, the prophet names his children, “Not having obtained mercy,” and “Not a people,” in order that, as says the apostle, “what was not a people may become a people; and she who did not obtain mercy may obtain mercy.” — editor's note: Hos. i. 6–9.

“To many he assigned names even from their birth, as to Isaac, and Samson, and to those in Isaiah and Hosea ( Isa. viii. 3; Hos. i. 4, 6, 9 ); but to others He gave them after they had been named by their parents, as to those we have mentioned, and to Joshua the son of Nun.” — the author cites it

“But I will have mercy upon the children of Judah, and will save them in the Lord their God.” — editor's note: Hos. i. 6, 7.

“…then began to be accomplished what was said by Hosea: “Ye are not my people, who were my people; ye have not obtained mercy, who once obtained mercy”—that is, the (Jewish) nation.” — editor's note: The sense rather than the words of Hos. i. 6, 9.
