Oséias 1:6-7

6, 7. Birth of Lo-ruhamah. 6. The second child of the union was a daughter.

Lo-ruhamah Meaning She is not pitied, or loved; that is, she does not experience the love which is ordinarily bestowed by parents upon their children. The reason for giving this name is also stated. Israel, the child of Jehovah (Hosea 11:1), is no longer loved or pitied by him to the extent that a child might expect love and pity; but Jehovah has not yet entirely cast off the people (Hosea 1:9).

But I will utterly take them away Better, with R.V., “that I should in any wise pardon them”; a perfectly legitimate translation (Jeremiah 12:1; compare Genesis 40:15, G.-K., 166b). There is no grammatical necessity for the rendering, “No, rather I will surely pardon them,” which Marti makes the basis for omitting the clause as a later addition, because the thought expressed is out of place in this connection. His translation being unwarranted there is no necessity for omitting the words.
