Hoshea - Hosea - Chapter 11

Chapter 11

1. For, when Israel was young, I loved him, and from Egypt I called My son.		א.
2. The more they called to them, the more they went away from them; to the baalim they would slaughter sacrifices, and to the graven images they would burn incense.		ב.
3. But I sent to train Ephraim, he took them on his arms, but they did not know that I healed them.		ג.
4. I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love, and I was to them like those who lift the yoke on their bridles, and I extended to him the ability to bear.		ד.
5. He shall not return to the land of Egypt, but Assyria is his king, for they have refused to repent.		ה.
6. And a sword shall rest in his cities, and it shall destroy his branches, and it shall consume; because of their counsels.		ו.
7. And My people waver whether to return to Me, and to the matter concerning which they call them, together they do not uphold [it].		ז.
8. How shall I give you, Ephraim? [How] deliver you, O Israel? How shall I make you as Admah, make you as Zeboyim? My heart is turned within Me, together My remorse has been kindled.		ח.
9. I will not execute the kindling of My anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim, for I am God and not a man. In your midst is the Holy One, and I will not enter a city.		ט.
10. They shall follow the Lord, He shall roar like a lion; for He shall roar, and the children shall hasten from the west.		י.
11. They shall hasten like a bird from Egypt and like a dove from the land of Assyria; and I will place them in their houses, says the Lord.		יא.
