Symbolical name given to Hosea's daughter. The context shows its meaning to be 'not having obtained mercy,' as in the margin. It was given to emphasise the fact that God was going to punish the people of Israel, and take them from the land, though still having mercy for a time on Judah. Hosea 1:6,8 : cf. 1 Peter 2:10 .
