Hosea 11 :: New English Translation (NET)

Hos 11:1

Hos 11:1When Israel was a young man, I loved him like a son, and I summoned my son out of Egypt.

Hos 11:2

Hos 11:2But the more I summoned them, the farther they departed from me. They sacrificed to the Baal idols and burned incense to images.

Hos 11:3

Hos 11:3Yet it was I who led Ephraim, I took them by the arm; but they did not acknowledge that I had healed them.

Hos 11:4

Hos 11:4I led them with leather cords, with leather ropes; I lifted the yoke from their neck, and gently fed them.

Hos 11:5

Hos 11:5They will return to Egypt! Assyria will rule over them because they refuse to repent!

Hos 11:6

Hos 11:6A sword will flash in their cities, it will destroy the bars of their city gates, and will devour them in their fortresses.

Hos 11:7

Hos 11:7My people are obsessed with turning away from me; they call to Baal, but he will never exalt them!

Hos 11:8

Hos 11:8How can I give you up, O Ephraim? How can I surrender you, O Israel? How can I treat you like Admah? How can I make you like Zeboiim? I have had a change of heart! All my tender compassions are aroused!

Hos 11:9

Hos 11:9I cannot carry out my fierce anger! I cannot totally destroy Ephraim! Because I am God, and not man - the Holy One among you - I will not come in wrath!

Hos 11:10

Hos 11:10He will roar like a lion, and they will follow the LORD; when he roars, his children will come trembling from the west.

Hos 11:11

Hos 11:11They will return in fear and trembling like birds from Egypt, like doves from Assyria, and I will settle them in their homes," declares the LORD.

Hos 11:12

Hos 11:12(12:1) Ephraim has surrounded me with lies; the house of Israel has surrounded me with deceit. But Judah still roams about with God; he remains faithful to the Holy One.
