And she conceived again, and bare a daughter. And God said unto him, Call her name Loruhamah: for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel; but I will utterly take them away.

Verse 6 is found in chapter 1 of Hosea. The birth of Lo-ruhamah introduces a second symbolic name: "not shown mercy". The image communicates a temporary withdrawal of mercy from the house of Israel because of its persistent unfaithfulness. However, the contrast with Judah is important: Judah’s salvation is attributed to the Lord’s action rather than military strength. The passage thus distinguishes between trusting God and trusting weapons, horses, or political power.

Und sie ward abermals schwanger und gebar eine Tochter. Und er sprach zu ihm: Heiße sie Lo-Ruhama ; denn ich will mich nicht mehr über das Haus Israel erbarmen, daß ich ihnen vergäbe.
Y concibió aún, y parió una hija. Y díjole Dios: Ponle por nombre Lo-ruhama: porque no más tendré misericordia de la casa de Israel, sino que los quitaré del todo.
Ella volvió a concebir y dio a luz una hija. Él le dijo: «Ponle por nombre Lo-ruhama, porque no volveré a compadecerme de la casa de Israel; de ningún modo los perdonaré.
Elle conçut de nouveau, et enfanta une fille. Et l'Eternel dit à Osée: Donne-lui le nom de Lo-Ruchama; car je n'aurai plus pitié de la maison d'Israël, je ne lui pardonnerai plus.
Poi ella concepette ancora, e partorì una figliuola. E il Signore disse ad Osea: Ponle nome Lo-ruhama; perciocchè io non continuerò più a far misericordia alla casa d’Israele, ma li torrò del tutto via.
E tornou ela a conceber, e deu à luz uma filha. E Deus disse: Põe-lhe o nome de Lo-Ruama; porque eu não tornarei mais a compadecer-me da casa de Israel, mas tudo lhe tirarei.
歌篾 又懷孕,生了一個女兒,耶和華對 何西阿 說:「給她起名叫 羅‧路哈瑪 ;因為我必不再憐憫 以色列 家,絕不赦免他們。
