TSK · Hosea 1:10

And I will make your descendants like the dust of the earth, so that if anyone is able to count the dust of the earth, then your descendants also can be counted.

But you said,‘I will certainly make you prosper and will make your descendants like the sand on the seashore, too numerous to count.’”

I will say to the north,‘Hand them over!’ and to the south,‘Don’t hold any back!’ Bring my sons from distant lands, and my daughters from the remote regions of the earth,

Your children hurry back, while those who destroyed and devastated you depart.

Look all around you! They all gather and come to you– your sons come from far away and your daughters are escorted by guardians.

I will make the children who follow one another in the line of my servant David very numerous. I will also make the Levites who minister before me very numerous. I will make them all as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sands which are on the seashore.’”

Then I will plant her as my own in the land. I will have pity on‘No Pity’(Lo-Ruhamah). I will say to‘Not My People’(Lo-Ammi),‘You are my people!’ And he will say,‘You are my God!’”

For all who are led by the Spirit of God are the sons of God.

and I will be a father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters,” says the All-Powerful Lord.

So in fact children were fathered by one man– and this one as good as dead– like the number of stars in the sky and like the innumerable grains of sand on the seashore.

(See what sort of love the Father has given to us: that we should be called God’s children– and indeed we are! For this reason the world does not know us: because it did not know him.
