Which in time past {were} not a people, but {are} now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did {it} ignorantly in unbelief.

And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to {them which were} not my people, Thou {art} my people; and they shall say, {Thou art} my God.

That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.

But this {shall be} the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief: {believed: or, obeyed}

And they shall be my people, and I will be their God:

Then said {God}, Call his name Loammi: for ye {are} not my people, and I will not be your {God}. {Loammi: that is, Not my people}

And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.

Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth {is} mine:

And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It {is} my people: and they shall say, The LORD {is} my God.

Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;

Blessed {are} the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

For the LORD hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God.
