1. When Israel was a child, I loved him, And out of Egypt I called My son. | |
2. As they called them, So they went from them; They sacrificed to the Baals, And burned incense to carved images. | |
3. I taught Ephraim to walk, Taking them by their arms; But they did not know that I healed them. | |
4. I drew them with gentle cords, With bands of love, And I was to them as those who take the yoke from their neck. I stooped and fed them. | |
5. He shall not return to the land of Egypt; But the Assyrian shall be his king, Because they refused to repent. | |
6. And the sword shall slash in his cities, Devour his districts, And consume them, Because of their own counsels. | |
7. My people are bent on backsliding from Me. Though they call to the Most High, None at all exalt Him. | |
8. How can I give you up, Ephraim? How can I hand you over, Israel? How can I make you like Admah? How can I set you like Zeboiim? My heart churns within Me; My sympathy is stirred. | |
9. I will not execute the fierceness of My anger; I will not again destroy Ephraim. For I am God, and not man, The Holy One in your midst; And I will not come with terror. | |
10. They shall walk after the Lord. He will roar like a lion. When He roars, Then His sons shall come trembling from the west; | |
11. They shall come trembling like a bird from Egypt, Like a dove from the land of Assyria. And I will let them dwell in their houses," Says the Lord. | |
12. Ephraim has encircled Me with lies, And the house of Israel with deceit; But Judah still walks with God, Even with the Holy One who is faithful. |
