Hosea 11

1 If [was] a youth Israel and I loved him and from Egypt I summoned son my.

When Israel was a childe, then I loued him, and called my sonne out of Egypt.

2 They summoned them so they went from before them to the Baals they sacrificed and to the idols they made smoke!

They called them, but they went thus from them: they sacrificed vnto Baalim, and burnt incense to images.

3 And I I taught to walk Ephraim he took them on arms his and not they knew that I had healed them.

I ledde Ephraim also, as one shoulde beare them in his armes: but they knewe not that I healed them.

4 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].

I led them with cordes of a man, euen with bandes of loue, and I was to them, as hee that taketh off the yoke from their iawes, and I laide the meat vnto them.

5 Not he will return to [the] land of Egypt and Assyria it [will be] king his for they have refused to repent.

He shall no more returne into the lande of Egypt: but Asshur shalbe his King, because they refused to conuert.

6 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.

And the sworde shall fall on his cities, and shall consume his barres, and deuoure them, because of their owne counsels.

7 And people my [is] hung up to apostasy my and to a height they call on him together not he will exalt [them].

And my people are bent to rebellion against me: though they called them to the most hie, yet none at all would exalt him.

8 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.

Howe shall I giue thee vp, Ephraim? howe shall I deliuer thee, Israel? how shall I make thee, as Admah? howe shall I set thee, as Zeboim? mine heart is turned within mee: my repentings are rouled together.

9 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.

I wil not execute ye fiercenesse of my wrath: I will not returne to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man, the holy one in the middes of thee, and I will not enter into the citie.

10 After Yahweh they will walk like a lion he will roar if he he will roar and they may tremble children from [the] west.

They shall walke after the Lord: he shall roare like a lyon: when hee shall roare, then the children of the West shall feare.

11 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.

They shall feare as a sparrow out of Egypt, and as a doue of the lande of Asshur, and I will place them in their houses, sayth the Lord.

12 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.

Ephraim copasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Iudah yet ruleth with God, and is faithfull with the Saints.
