Hosea 11 :: Revised Standard Version (RSV)

God Yearns over His People

Hos 11:1When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son.

Hos 11:2The more I called them, the more they went from me; they kept sacrificing to the Ba'als, and burning incense to idols.

Hos 11:3

Hos 11:3Yet it was I who taught E'phraim to walk, I took them up in my arms; but they did not know that I healed them.

Hos 11:4

Hos 11:4I led them with cords of compassion, with the bands of love, and I became to them as one, who eases the yoke on their jaws, and I bent down to them and fed them.

Hos 11:5

Hos 11:5They shall return to the land of Egypt, and Assyria shall be their king, because they have refused to return to me.

Hos 11:6

Hos 11:6The sword shall rage against their cities, consume the bars of their gates, and devour them in their fortresses.

Hos 11:7

Hos 11:7My people are bent on turning away from me; so they are appointed to the yoke, and none shall remove it.

Hos 11:8

Hos 11:8How can I give you up, O E'phraim! How can I hand you over, O Israel! How can I make you like Admah! How can I treat you like Zeboi'im! My heart recoils within me, my compassion grows warm and tender.

Hos 11:9

Hos 11:9I will not execute my fierce anger, I will not again destroy E'phraim; for I am God and not man, the Holy One in your midst, and I will not come to destroy.

Hos 11:10

Hos 11:10They shall go after the LORD, he will roar like a lion; yea, he will roar, and his sons shall come trembling from the west;

Hos 11:11

Hos 11:11they 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.

Hos 11:12

Hos 11:12E'phraim has encompassed me with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit; but Judah is still known by God, and is faithful to the Holy One.
