Hosea 1:6

Call her Lo-ruhamah - רהמה לא , "Not having obtained mercy." This also was a prophetic or typical name; and the reason of its imposition is immediately given:

For I will no more have mercy - ארחם עיד אושיף לא כי ki lo osiph od arachem , "For I will no more add to have mercy upon the house of Israel." This refers to the total destruction of that kingdom.
