Hosea  


11 : 1 When Israel was a child,I loved him,and out of Egypt Icalledmy son.
11 : 2 The more they were called,the more they went away;they kept sacrificing to the Baalsand burning offerings to idols.
11 : 3 Yet it wasI who taught Ephraim to walk;I took them up by their arms,but they did not know thatI healed them.
11 : 4 I led them with cords of kindness,with the bands of love,andI became to them as one who eases the yoke on their jaws,andI bent down to them and fed them.
11 : 5 They shall notreturn to the land of Egypt,butAssyria shall be their king,becausethey have refused to return to me.
11 : 6 The sword shall rage against their cities,consume the bars of their gates,and devour thembecause of their own counsels.
11 : 7 My people are benton turning away from me,and thoughthey call out to the Most High,he shall not raise them up at all.
11 : 8 How can I give you up, O Ephraim?How can I hand you over, O Israel?How can I make youlike Admah?How can I treat youlike Zeboiim?My heart recoils within me;my compassion grows warm and tender.
11 : 9 I will not execute my burning anger;I will not again destroy Ephraim;for I am God and not a man,the Holy One in your midst,and I will not come in wrath.
11 : 10 They shall go after theLord;he will roar like a lion;when he roars,his children shall come tremblingfrom the west;
11 : 11 they shall come trembling like birdsfrom Egypt,andlike dovesfrom the land of Assyria,and I will return them to their homes, declares theLord.
11 : 12 Ephraimhas surrounded me with lies,and the house of Israel with deceit,but Judah still walks with Godand is faithful to the Holy One.
