Hosea 11
11
The Beloved Son
1When Israel was a youth I loved him,
And out of Egypt I called My son.
2The more #11:2 God’s prophetsthey called them,
The more they went from #11:2 God’s prophetsthem;
They kept sacrificing to the Baals
And burning incense to graven images.
3Yet it is I who taught Ephraim to walk;
# 11:3 As in ancient versions; Heb He...His I took them in My arms;
But they did not know that I healed them.
4I led them with cords of a man, with bonds of love,
And I became to them as one who lifts the yoke from their jaws;
And I bent down and fed them.
5¶#11:5 Lit HeThey will not return to the land of Egypt;
But Assyria—he will be #11:5 Lit histheir king
Because they refused to return to Me.
6And the sword will whirl against #11:6 Lit histheir cities
And will consume #11:6 Lit histheir gate bars
And devour them because of their counsels.
7So My people are hung up on turning from Me.
Though #11:7 God’s prophetsthey call #11:7 Israel; lit himthem to the One on high,
None at all exalts Him.
8¶How can I give you up, O Ephraim?
How can I surrender you, O Israel?
How can I give you over to be like Admah?
How can I make you like Zeboiim?
My heart is turned over within Me;
# 11:8 Lit Together All My compassions are stirred.
9I will not execute My burning anger;
I will not make Ephraim a ruin again.
For I am God and not man, the Holy One in your midst,
And I will not come in #11:9 Lit excitementwrath.
10They will walk after Yahweh;
He will roar like a lion;
Indeed, He will roar,
And His sons will come trembling from the west.
11They will come trembling like birds from Egypt
And like doves from the land of Assyria;
And I will settle them in their houses, declares Yahweh.
12¶#11:12 Ch 12:1 in HebEphraim surrounds Me with #11:12 Lit lielies
And the house of Israel with deceit;
And Judah is also unruly against God,
Even against the Holy One who is faithful.
