Hosea 11 (New King James Version)
1
"When Israel was a child, I loved him, And out of Egypt I called My son.
2
As they called them, a So they went from them; b They sacrificed to the Baals, And burned incense to carved images.
3
"I taught Ephraim to walk, Taking them by their arms; c But they did not know that I healed them.
4
I drew them with gentle cords, d With bands of love, And I was to them as those who take the yoke from their neck. e I stooped and fed them.
5
"He shall not return to the land of Egypt; But the Assyrian shall be his king, Because they refused to repent.
6
And the sword shall slash in his cities, Devour his districts, And consume them, Because of their own counsels.
7
My people are bent on backsliding from Me. Though they call to the Most High, f None at all exalt Him.
8
"How can I give you up, Ephraim? How can I hand you over, Israel? How can I make you like Admah? How can I set you like Zeboiim? My heart churns within Me; My sympathy is stirred.
9
I will not execute the fierceness of My 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 with terror. g
10
"They shall walk after the Lord. He will roar like a lion. When He roars, Then His sons shall come trembling from the west;
11
They shall come trembling like a bird from Egypt, Like a dove from the land of Assyria. And I will let them dwell in their houses," Says the Lord.
12
"Ephraim has encircled Me with lies, And the house of Israel with deceit; But Judah still walks with God, Even with the Holy One h who is faithful.
