The Beloved Son

Unchecked Copy BoxHos 11:1 -

When Israel was a youth I loved him,

And out of Egypt I called My son.

Unchecked Copy BoxHos 11:2 -

The more [fn]they called them,

The more they went from [fn]them;

They kept sacrificing to the Baals

And burning incense to graven images.

Unchecked Copy BoxHos 11:3 -

Yet it is I who taught Ephraim to walk;

[fn]I took them in My arms;

But they did not know that I healed them.

Unchecked Copy BoxHos 11:4 -

I 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.

Unchecked Copy BoxHos 11:5 -

[fn]They will not return to the land of Egypt;

But Assyria—he will be [fn]their king

Because they refused to return to Me.

Unchecked Copy BoxHos 11:6 -

And the sword will whirl against [fn]their cities

And will consume [fn]their gate bars

And devour them because of their counsels.

Unchecked Copy BoxHos 11:7 -

So My people are hung up on turning from Me.

Though [fn]they call [fn]them to the One on high,

None at all exalts Him.

Unchecked Copy BoxHos 11:8 -

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;

[fn]All My compassions are stirred.

Unchecked Copy BoxHos 11:9 -

I 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 [fn]wrath.

Unchecked Copy BoxHos 11:10 -

They will walk after Yahweh;

He will roar like a lion;

Indeed, He will roar,

And His sons will come trembling from the west.

Unchecked Copy BoxHos 11:11 -

They 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.

Unchecked Copy BoxHos 11:12 -

[fn]Ephraim surrounds Me with [fn]lies

And the house of Israel with deceit;

And Judah is also unruly against God,

Even against the Holy One who is faithful.
