Hosea 11
- 1When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.
- 2As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed to Baalim, and burned incense to carved idols.
- 3I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms. But they did not know that I healed them.
- 4I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love: and I was to them as those who take off the yoke on their jaws, and I laid food to them.
- 5He shall not return into the land of Egypt, and the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to return.
- 6And the sword shall stay on his cities, and shall consume his branches, and devour them, because of their own plans.
- 7And my people are bent to turning away from me: though they called them to the most High, none at all would honor him.
- 8How shall I give you up, Ephraim? How shall I deliver you, Israel? How shall I make you as Admah? How shall I set you as Zeboim? My heart is turned within me, all my compassion is stirred.
- 9I will not execute the fierceness of my anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim. For I am God, and not man. The Holy One among you: and I will not enter into the city.
- 10They shall walk after the Lord: he shall roar like a lion: when he shall roar, then the children shall tremble from the west.
- 11They shall tremble as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria: and I will place them in their houses, says the Lord.
- 12Ephraim surrounds me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Judah yet rules with God, and is faithful with the saints.
