Hosea|11:1|-|When Israel was a |a|child, I |1|loved him,And |b|out of Egypt I called My |2c|son.
Hosea|11:2|-|As |1|they called them,So they went from them;
To the |a|Baals they sacrificed,And to the idols they burned incense.
Hosea|11:3|-|And it was I who taught Ephraim to walk(He |a|took them in His arms),
But they did not know that I |b|healed them.
Hosea|11:4|-|I drew them |1|with cords of a man,With bands of love;
And I was to them like thoseWho lift off the |2|yoke on their jaws;
And I gently caused them to |2|eat.
Hosea|11:5|-|They will not return to the land of Egypt,But the Assyrian will be their king,
For they refused to return to Me.
Hosea|11:6|-|And the sword will whirl about in their citiesAnd will consume their bars,
And it will devour them because of their own counsels.
Hosea|11:7|-|Indeed My people are bent upon turning away from Me;Though they call them to Him who is on high,
None at all exalts Him.
Hosea|11:8|-|How shall I give you up, O Ephraim?How shall I deliver you up, O Israel?
How can I make you like |1a|Admah?How can I treat you like |1|Zeboim?
My heart is turned within Me;All My |b|compassions have warmed.
Hosea|11:9|-|I will not execute the fierceness of My anger;I will not return to destroy Ephraim;
For I am God and |a|not man,The |b|Holy One in the midst of you,
And I will not come in wrath.
Hosea|11:10|-|They will walk after Jehovah;He will |a|roar like a lion.
For He will roar,And the children will come trembling from the |b|west.
Hosea|11:11|-|They will come trembling like a bird from EgyptAnd like a |a|dove from the land of Assyria.
And I will cause them to |b|dwell in their houses,Declares Jehovah.
Hosea|11:12|-|Ephraim encompasses Me with lies,And the house of Israel, with deceit;
And Judah is yet unsteadfast with GodAnd with the Holy One, the Faithful One.
