Hosea 11:7-12 (New Revised Standard)
View In My Bible
7
My people are bent on turning away from me. To the Most High they call, but he does not raise them up at all. a
8
How can I give you up, 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 no mortal, the Holy One in your midst, and I will not come in wrath. b
10
They shall go after the Lord, who roars like a lion; when he roars, his children 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
c Ephraim has surrounded me with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit; but Judah still walks d with God, and is faithful to the Holy One.
