1 # When Israel <03478> was a child <05288>, then I loved <0157> (8799) him, and called <07121> (8804) my son <01121> out of Egypt <04714>.
2 As they called <07121> (8804) them, so they went <01980> (8804) from them <06440>: they sacrificed <02076> (8762) unto Baalim <01168>, and burned incense <06999> (8762) to graven images <06456>.
3 I taught <08637> <00> Ephraim <0669> also to go <08637> (8809), taking <03947> (8800) them by their arms <02220>; but they knew <03045> (8804) not that I healed <07495> (8804) them.
4 I drew <04900> (8799) them with cords <02256> of a man <0120>, with bands <05688> of love <0160>: and I was to them as they that take off <07311> (8688) the yoke <05923> on their jaws <03895>, and I laid <05186> (8686) meat <0398> (8686) unto them.
5 He shall not return <07725> (8799) into the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>, but the Assyrian <0804> shall be his king <04428>, because they refused <03985> (8765) to return <07725> (8800).
6 And the sword <02719> shall abide <02342> (8804) on his cities <05892>, and shall consume <03615> (8765) his branches <0905>, and devour <0398> (8804) them, because of their own counsels <04156>.
7 And my people <05971> are bent <08511> (8803) to backsliding <04878> from me: though they called <07121> (8799) them to the most High <05920>, none at all <03162> would exalt <07311> (8787) him.
8 # How shall I give thee up <05414> (8799), Ephraim <0669>? how shall I deliver <04042> (8762) thee, Israel <03478>? how shall I make <05414> (8799) thee as Admah <0126>? how shall I set <07760> (8799) thee as Zeboim <06636>? mine heart <03820> is turned <02015> (8738) within me, my repentings <05150> are kindled <03648> (8738) together <03162>.
9 I will not execute <06213> (8799) the fierceness <02740> of mine anger <0639>, I will not return <07725> (8799) to destroy <07843> (8763) Ephraim <0669>: for I am God <0410>, and not man <0376>; the Holy One <06918> in the midst <07130> of thee: and I will not enter <0935> (8799) into the city <05892>.
10 They shall walk <03212> (8799) after <0310> the LORD <03068>: he shall roar <07580> (8799) like a lion <0738>: when he shall roar <07580> (8799), then the children <01121> shall tremble <02729> (8799) from the west <03220> .
11 They shall tremble <02729> (8799) as a bird <06833> out of Egypt <04714>, and as a dove <03123> out of the land <0776> of Assyria <0804>: and I will place <03427> (8689) them in their houses <01004>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>.
12 Ephraim <0669> compasseth <05437> (8804) me about with lies <03585>, and the house <01004> of Israel <03478> with deceit <04820>: but Judah <03063> yet ruleth <07300> (8804) with God <0410>, and is faithful <0539> (8737) with the saints <06918>.
