Hosea 11
1 When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.
If [was] a youth Israel and I loved him and from Egypt I summoned son my.
2 As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto Baalim, and burned incense 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 I taught Ephraim also to go, 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 laid meat unto them.
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 abide on his cities, and shall consume his branches, 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 bent to backsliding from me: though they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt him.
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 deliver thee, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? how shall I set thee as Zeboim? mine heart is turned within me, my repentings 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 enter into the city.
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 Yhwh: he shall roar like a lion: when he shall roar, then the children shall tremble 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 tremble as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria: and I will place them in their houses, saith Yhwh.
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: but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the saints.
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.
