'My People' in the Bible

Then the Lord said: "Name him 'Not My People' (Lo-Ammi), because you are not my people and I am not your God."

However, in the future the number of the people of Israel will be like the sand of the sea which can be neither measured nor numbered. Although it was said to them, "You are not my people," it will be said to them, "You are children of the living God!"

Then you will call your brother, "My People" (Ammi)! You will call your sister, "Pity" (Ruhamah)!

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!'"

You have destroyed my people by failing to acknowledge me! Because you refuse to acknowledge me, I will reject you as my priests. Because you reject the law of your God, I will reject your descendants.

They feed on the sin offerings of my people; their appetites long for their iniquity!

Old and new wine take away the understanding of my people.

Whenever I want to restore the fortunes of my people,

My people are obsessed with turning away from me; they call to Baal, but he will never exalt them!
