Hosea 11
1 If [was] a youth Israel and I loved him and from Egypt I summoned son my.
Early in the morning were they cast off, the king of Israel has been cast off: for Israel is a child, and I loved him, and out of Egypt have I called his children.
2 They summoned them so they went from before them to the Baals they sacrificed and to the idols they made smoke!
As I called them, so they departed from my presence: they sacrificed to Baalim, and burnt incense to graven images.
3 And I I taught to walk Ephraim he took them on arms his and not they knew that I had healed them.
Yet I bound the feet of Ephraim, I took him on my arm; but they knew 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].
When men were destroyed, I drew them with the bands of my love: and I will be to them as a man striking [another] on his cheek: and I will have respect to him, I will prevail with him.
5 Not he will return to [the] land of Egypt and Assyria it [will be] king his for they have refused to repent.
Ephraim lived in Egypt; and [as for] the Assyrian, he was his king, because he would not return.
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 in his cities he prevailed not with the sword, and he ceased [to war] with his hands: and they shall eat [of the fruit] of their own devices:
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 his people [shall] cleave fondly to their habitation; but God shall be angry with his precious things, and shall not at all 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.
How shall I deal with you, Ephraim? [how] shall I protect you, Israel? what shall I do with you? I will make you as Adama, and as Seboim; my heart is turned at once, my repentance is powerfully excited.
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 will not act according to the fury of my wrath, I will not abandon Ephraim to be utterly destroyed: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One within you: and I will not enter into the city.
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.
I will go after the Lord: he shall utter [his voice] as a lion: for he shall roar, and the children of the waters shall be amazed.
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 be amazed [and fly] as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of the Assyrians: and I will restore them to their houses, says 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 has compassed me with falsehood, and the house of Israel and Juda with ungodliness: [but] now God knows them, and they shall be called God's holy people.
