Hosea Chapit 11
Revised Standard Version
1
When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son.
2
The more I called them, the more they went from me; they kept sacrificing to the Baals, and burning incense to idols.
3
Yet it was I who taught Ephraim to walk, I took them up in my arms; but they did not know that I healed them.
4
I led them with cords of compassion, with the bands of love, and I became to them as one, who eases the yoke on their jaws, and I bent down to them and fed them.
5
They shall return to the land of Egypt, and Assyria shall be their king, because they have refused to return to me.
6
The sword shall rage against their cities, consume the bars of their gates, and devour them in their fortresses.
7
My people are bent on turning away from me; so they are appointed to the yoke, and none shall remove it.
8
How can I give you up, O Ephraim! How can I hand you over, O Israel! How can I make you like Admah! How can I treat you like Zeboiim! My heart recoils within me, my compassion grows warm and tender.
9
I will not execute my fierce anger, I will not again destroy Ephraim; for I am God and not man, the Holy One in your midst, and I will not come to destroy.
10
They shall go after the LORD, he will roar like a lion; yea, he will roar, and his sons shall come trembling from the west;
11
they shall come trembling like birds from Egypt, and like doves from the land of Assyria; and I will return them to their homes, says the LORD.
12
Ephraim has encompassed me with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit; but Judah is still known by God, and is faithful to the Holy One.
