Hosea 11
1 Because Israel [is] a youth, and I love him, Out of Egypt I have called for My Son.
If [was] a youth Israel and I loved him and from Egypt I summoned son my.
2 They have called to them rightly, They have gone from before them, To lords they do sacrifice, And to graven images they make perfume.
They summoned them so they went from before them to the Baals they sacrificed and to the idols they made smoke!
3 And I have caused Ephraim to go on foot, Taking them by their arms, And they have not known that I strengthened them.
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 man I do draw them, With thick cords of love, And I am to them as a raiser up of a yoke on their jaws, And I incline unto him — I feed [him].
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 turneth not back unto the land of Egypt, And Asshur — he [is] his king, For they have 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 Grievous hath been the sword in his cities, And it hath ended his bars, and consumed — from 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 hanging in suspense, about My returning, And unto the Most High they do call, Together they exalt not.
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 do I give thee up, O Ephraim? Do I deliver thee up, O Israel? How do I make thee as Admah? Do I set thee as Zeboim? Turned in Me is My heart, kindled together have been My repentings.
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 do not the fierceness of My anger, I turn not back to destroy Ephraim, For God I [am], and not a man. In thy midst the Holy One, and I enter not in enmity,
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 Jehovah they go — as a lion He roareth, When He doth roar, then tremble do the sons 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 tremble as a sparrow out of Egypt, And as a dove out of the land of Asshur, And I have caused them to dwell in their own houses, An affirmation of Jehovah.
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 Compassed Me with feigning hath Ephraim, And with deceit the house of Israel. And Judah again is ruling with God, And with the Holy Ones [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.
