God’s Compassion Despite Israel’s Ingratitude
1 #
Hos 2.15; 12.9, 13; 13.4; Mt 2.15 When Israel was a child, I loved him,
and out of Egypt I called my son.
2 #
2 Kings 17.13–15; Isa 65.7; Jer 18.15; Hos 2.13 The more I#11.2 Gk: Heb they called them,
the more they went from me;#11.2 Gk: Heb them
they kept sacrificing to the Baals
and offering incense to idols.
3 #
Deut 1.31; Jer 30.17; Hos 7.15 Yet it was I who taught Ephraim to walk;
I took them up in my#11.3 Gk Syr Vg: Heb his arms,
but they did not know that I healed them.
4 #
Ex 16.32; Lev 26.13; Ps 78.25; Jer 31.2, 3 I led them with cords of human kindness,
with bands of love.
I was to them like those
who lift infants to their cheeks.#11.4 Or who ease the yoke on their jaws
I bent down to them and fed them.
5 #
Hos 7.16; 10.6 They shall return to the land of Egypt,
and Assyria shall be their king,
because they have refused to return to me.
6 #
Hos 4.16, 17; 13.16 The sword rages in their cities;
it consumes their oracle priests
and devours because of their schemes.
7 #
v 2
; Jer 8.5My people are bent on turning away from me.
To the Most High they call,
but he does not raise them up at all.#11.7 Meaning of Heb uncertain
8 #
Gn 14.8; Isa 63.15; Hos 6.4 How can I give you up, Ephraim?
How can I hand you over, O Israel?
How can I make you like Admah?
How can I treat you like Zeboiim?
My heart recoils within me;
my compassion grows warm and tender.
9 #
Deut 13.17; Isa 41.14, 16; 55.8, 9; Jer 26.3; Mal 3.6 I will not execute my fierce anger;
I will not again destroy Ephraim,
for I am God and no mortal,
the Holy One in your midst,
and I will not come in wrath.#11.9 Meaning of Heb uncertain
10 #
Isa 66.2, 5; Hos 6.1–3; Joel 3.16 They shall go after the LORD,
who roars like a lion;
when he roars,
his children shall come trembling from the west.
11 #
Isa 11.11; 60.8; Ezek 28.25, 26 They shall come trembling like birds from Egypt
and like doves from the land of Assyria,
and I will return them to their homes, says the LORD.
12 #
Hos 4.2; 7.3 # 11.12 12.1 in Heb Ephraim has surrounded me with lies
and the house of Israel with deceit,
but Judah still walks#11.12 Heb roams or rules with God
and is faithful to the Holy One.
