Charles Ellicott Commentary Hosea 1:9

"And [Jehovah] said, Call his name Lo-ammi; for ye are not my people, and I will not be your [God]." — Hosea 1:9 (ASV)

Closes the chapter in the Hebrew text. The episode described above is, in some particulars, the model for Ezekiel 16:1 and following. Gomer’s child Lo ‘Ammi (not my people) is a type of utter and final repudiation.
