Hosea

ESV

Chapter 11

¹When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son. ²The more they called them, the more they went from them; they kept sacrificing to the Baals and burning offerings to idols. ³Yet it was I who taught Ephraim to walk; I took them up by their arms, but they did not know that I healed them. ⁴I led them with cords of kindness, with 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. ⁵They shall not return to the land of Egypt, but Assyria shall be their king, because they refused to return to me. ⁶The sword shall rage against their cities, consume their bars, and devour them because of their own counsels. ⁷My people are bent on turning away from me, and though they call to the Most High, he shall not raise them up at all. ⁸How 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. ⁹I 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. ¹⁰They shall go after the LORD; he will roar like a lion; when he roars, his children shall come trembling from the west; ¹¹they shall come trembling like birds from Egypt, and like doves from the land of Assyria, and I will return them to their homes, declares the LORD. ¹²Ephraim has surrounded me with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit, but Judah still walks with God and is faithful to the Holy One.
