gltv - Hosea:11:1-11

gltv@Hosea:11:1 @ When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and I called My son out of Egypt.

gltv@Hosea:11:2 @ As they called to them, so they went from their face. They sacrifice to the Baals, and burn incense to graven images.

gltv@Hosea:11:3 @ I also taught Ephraim to go; He took them on His arms. But they did not know that I healed them.

gltv@Hosea:11:4 @ I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love. And I was to them as those who lift off the yoke on their jaws; and I gently give food to him.

gltv@Hosea:11:5 @ He shall not return to the land of Egypt, but he of Assyria shall be his king, because they refused to return.

gltv@Hosea:11:6 @ And the sword shall grieve in his cities, and shall destroy his bars, and shall consume, because of their own counsels.

gltv@Hosea:11:7 @ And My people are bent on backsliding from Me. And they call him to the Most High; no one at all would exalt Him.

gltv@Hosea:11:8 @ How shall I give you up, Ephraim? Shall I deliver you, Israel? How shall I make you like Admah? Shall I set you as Zeboim? My heart has turned within Me; My compassions are kindled together.

gltv@Hosea:11:9 @ I will not carry out the heat of My anger; I will not return to destroy Ephraim. For I am God, and not a man, the Holy One in your midst. And I will not enter into the city.

gltv@Hosea:11:10 @ They shall walk after Jehovah; He shall roar as a lion. When He roars, then sons shall tremble from the west.

gltv@Hosea:11:11 @ They trembled like a bird from Egypt, and like a dove from the land of Assyria. And I will make them live in their houses, says Jehovah.
