HOS 11:1 When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and out of Egypt I called My son.
HOS 11:2 The more they called them, the more they went from them; they sacrificed unto the Baalim, and offered to graven images.
HOS 11:3 And I, I taught Ephraim to walk, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them.
HOS 11:4 I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love; and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I fed them gently.
HOS 11:5 He shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to return.
HOS 11:6 And the sword shall fall upon his cities, and shall consume his bars, and devour them, because of their own counsels.
HOS 11:7 And My people are in suspense about returning to Me; and though they call them upwards, none at all will lift himself up.
HOS 11:8 How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? How shall I surrender thee, Israel? How shall I make thee as Admah? How shall I set thee as Zeboim? My heart is turned within Me, My compassions are kindled together.
HOS 11:9 I will not execute the fierceness of Mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim; for I am God, and not man, the Holy One in the midst of thee; and I will not come in fury.
HOS 11:10 They shall walk after the LORD, who shall roar like a lion; for He shall roar, and the children shall come trembling from the west.
HOS 11:11 They shall come trembling as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria; and I will make them to dwell in their houses, saith the LORD.
HOS 11:12 (12:1) Ephraim compasseth Me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit; and Judah is yet wayward towards God, and towards the Holy One who is faithful.
