< Hosea 11 >
1 If [was] a youth Israel and I loved him and from Egypt I summoned son my.
2 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 to walk Ephraim he took them on arms his and not they knew that I had 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].
5 Not he will return to [the] land of Egypt and Assyria it [will be] king his for they have refused to repent.
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.
7 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? 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 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 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 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 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.
