Hosea 11
1 When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and out of Egypt I called My son.
If [was] a youth Israel and I loved him and from Egypt I summoned son my.
2 The more they called them, the more they went from them; they sacrificed unto the Baalim, and offered to graven images.
They summoned them so they went from before them to the Baals they sacrificed and to the idols they made smoke!
3 And I, I taught Ephraim to walk, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them.
And I I taught to walk Ephraim he took them on arms his and not they knew that I had healed them.
4 I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love; and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I fed them gently.
With cords of humankind I drew them with ropes of love and I was to them like [those who] lift a yoke on jaws their and I incline to him I feed [him].
5 He shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to return.
Not he will return to [the] land of Egypt and Assyria it [will be] king his for they have refused to repent.
6 And the sword shall fall upon his cities, and shall consume his bars, and devour them, because of their own counsels.
And it will whirl a sword in cities his and it will put an end to bars his and it will devour [them] from schemes their.
7 And My people are in suspense about returning to Me; and though they call them upwards, none at all will lift himself up.
And people my [is] hung up to apostasy my and to a height they call on him together not he will exalt [them].
8 How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? How shall I surrender thee, Israel? How shall I make thee as Admah? How shall I set thee as Zeboim? My heart is turned within Me, My compassions are kindled together.
How? will I give up you O Ephraim will I deliver up? you O Israel how? will I make you like Admah will I make? you like Zeboiim it has been changed on me heart my together they have grown warm compassions my.
9 I will not execute the fierceness of Mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim; for I am God, and not man, the Holy One in the midst of thee; and I will not come in fury.
Not I will carry out [the] burning of anger my not I will repeat to destroy Ephraim for [am] God I and not a human in midst your [the] holy [one] and not I will come in rage.
10 They shall walk after the LORD, who shall roar like a lion; for He shall roar, and the children shall come trembling from the west.
After Yahweh they will walk like a lion he will roar if he he will roar and they may tremble children from [the] west.
11 They shall come trembling as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria; and I will make them to dwell in their houses, saith the LORD.
They will tremble like a bird from Egypt and like a dove from [the] land of Assyria and I will cause to dwell them at houses their [the] utterance of Yahweh.
12 Ephraim compasseth Me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit; and Judah is yet wayward towards God, and towards the Holy One who is faithful.
They have surrounded me with lying Ephraim and with deceit [the] house of Israel and Judah still it has roamed with God and with [the] holy [one] faithful.
