Hosea 11 :: Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

Hos 11:1

Hos 11:1Because Israel is a youth, and I love him, Out of Egypt I have called for My Son.

Hos 11:2

Hos 11:2They have called to them rightly, They have gone from before them, To lords they do sacrifice, And to graven images they make perfume.

Hos 11:3

Hos 11:3And I have caused Ephraim to go on foot, Taking them by their arms, And they have not known that I strengthened them.

Hos 11:4

Hos 11:4With cords of man I do draw them, With thick cords of love, And I am to them as a raiser up of a yoke on their jaws, And I incline unto him -- I feed him.

Hos 11:5

Hos 11:5He turneth not back unto the land of Egypt, And Asshur -- he is his king, For they have refused to return.

Hos 11:6

Hos 11:6Grievous hath been the sword in his cities, And it hath ended his bars, and consumed -- from their own counsels.

Hos 11:7

Hos 11:7And My people are hanging in suspense, about My returning, And unto the Most High they do call, Together they exalt not.

Hos 11:8

Hos 11:8How do I give thee up, O Ephraim? Do I deliver thee up, O Israel? How do I make thee as Admah? Do I set thee as Zeboim? Turned in Me is My heart, kindled together have been My repentings.

Hos 11:9

Hos 11:9I do not the fierceness of My anger, I turn not back to destroy Ephraim, For God I am, and not a man. In thy midst the Holy One, and I enter not in enmity,

Hos 11:10

Hos 11:10After Jehovah they go -- as a lion He roareth, When He doth roar, then tremble do the sons from the west.

Hos 11:11

Hos 11:11They tremble as a sparrow out of Egypt, And as a dove out of the land of Asshur, And I have caused them to dwell in their own houses, An affirmation of Jehovah.

Hos 11:12

Hos 11:12Compassed Me with feigning hath Ephraim, And with deceit the house of Israel. And Judah again is ruling with God, And with the Holy Ones is faithful!
