Chapter 11

1

 

  When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son.  

 

 


2

 

  As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto the Baals, and burned incense to graven images.  

 

 


3

 

  And I it was that taught Ephraim to walk, -- He took them upon his arms, -- but they knew not that I healed them.  

 

 


4

 

  I drew them with bands of a man, with cords of love; and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I gently caused them to eat.  

 

 


5

 

  He shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be his king; for they refused to return [to me];  

 

 


6

 

  and the sword shall turn about in his cities, and shall consume his bars, and devour [them], because of their own counsels.  

 

 


7

 

  Yea, my people are bent upon backsliding from me: though they call them to the Most High, none at all exalteth [him].  

 

 


8

 

  How shall I give thee over, Ephraim? [how] shall I deliver thee up, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? [how] shall I set thee as Zeboim? My heart is turned within me, my repentings are kindled together.  

 

 


9

 

  I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not again destroy Ephraim; for I am łGod, and not man, -- the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not come in anger.  

 

 


10

 

  They shall walk after Jehovah; he shall roar like a lion; when he shall roar, then the children shall hasten from the west:  

 

 


11

 

  they shall hasten as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria; and I will cause them to dwell in their houses, saith Jehovah.  

 

 


12

 

  Ephraim encompasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit; but Judah yet walketh with łGod, and with the holy things of truth.
