Hosea 1:6

After some time Gomer bore Hosea a daughter. Some scholars believed that Hosea fathered only the first child and that Gomer’s other children were born of fornication. [Note: E.g., Charles H. Dyer, in The Old Testament Explorer, p. 725; and F. F. Bruce, The Letter of Paul to the Romans: An Introduction and Commentary, pp. 184-85.] The Lord told Hosea to name this girl "Lo-ruhamah," meaning, "She is not loved," because He would not have compassion on Israel to forgive her for her sins. This was an outrageous name for a daughter. Yahweh had been very compassionate toward Israel in the past, but her persistent unfaithfulness to Him and His covenant with her made continuing compassion impossible.
