6 Gômer engravidou novamente e deu à luz uma filha. Então o SENHOR disse a Oseias: “Dê-lhe o nome de Lo-Ruama,^[a] pois não mais mostrarei amor para com a nação de Israel, não ao ponto de perdoá-la.

Oséias 1:6 Meaning and Commentary

Hosea 1:6

And she conceived again, and bare a daughter
One of the weaker sex; denoting the weaker state of the kingdom of Israel after Jeroboam, as Kimchi thinks; Zachariah his son reigning but six months, and Shallum the son of Jabesh, his successor, reigned but one month, ( 2 Kings 15:8 2 Kings 15:13 ) :

and God said unto him, call her name Loruhamah;
which signifies, "she hath not obtained mercy": and what follows explains it to the same sense. The Targum is,

``and they added and did evil works; and he said unto him call their name, who obtained not mercy by their works:''

for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel;
as he had heretofore, sparing them time after time, though they continued to sin against him; but now he would spare them no longer, but deliver them up into the hands of their enemies, as he did a part of them, first into the hands of Tiglathpileser king of Assyria, and then to Shalmaneser, ( 2 Kings 15:29 ) ( 2 Kings 17:3 2 Kings 17:6 ) , otherwise, in the latter day, mercy will be shown them again, especially in a spiritual way, when they shall be converted, and believe in Christ, and all Israel shall be saved, as well as possess their own land again; see ( Hosea 1:10 Hosea 1:11 ) ( Romans 11:26 ) : but I will utterly take them away;
out of their land, from being a kingdom and nation, which was done by Shalmaneser, another king of Assyria, ( 2 Kings 17:6 ) , or, "bringing I will bring into them", or "against them" ^F23; that is, an enemy, the same king of Assyria: or, "but forgetting I will forget them" ^F24, as some render it, and remember them no more, till the fulness of time comes: or, "through pardoning I have pardoned", or "spared them" ^F25; that is, in times past. The Targum is,

``but if they return, pardoning I will pardon them;''

which will be done in the latter day.

Oséias 1:6 In-Context

4 Então o SENHOR disse a Oseias: “Dê-lhe o nome de Jezreel, porque logo castigarei a dinastia de Jeú por causa do massacre ocorrido em Jezreel, e darei fim ao reino de Israel.

5 Naquele dia, quebrarei o arco de Israel no vale de Jezreel”.

6 Gômer engravidou novamente e deu à luz uma filha. Então o SENHOR disse a Oseias: “Dê-lhe o nome de Lo-Ruama, pois não mais mostrarei amor para com a nação de Israel, não ao ponto de perdoá-la.

7 Contudo, tratarei com amor a nação de Judá; e eu lhe concederei vitória, não pelo arco, pela espada ou por combate, nem por cavalos e cavaleiros, mas pelo SENHOR, o seu Deus”.

8 Depois de desmamar Lo-Ruama, Gômer teve outro filho.
