Hosea:11:1 @
Because Israel [
is ]
a youth ,
and I love him ,
Out of Egypt I have called for My Son .
ylt @
Hosea:11:2 @
They have called to them rightly ,
They have gone from before them ,
To lords they do sacrifice ,
And to graven images they make perfume .
ylt @
Hosea:11:3 @
And I have caused Ephraim to go on foot ,
Taking them by their arms ,
And they have not known that I strengthened them .
ylt @
Hosea:11:4 @
With 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 ].
ylt @
Hosea:11:5 @
He turneth not back unto the land of Egypt ,
And Asshur --
he [
is ]
his king ,
For they have refused to return .
ylt @
Hosea:11:6 @
Grievous hath been the sword in his cities ,
And it hath ended his bars ,
and consumed --
from their own counsels .
ylt @
Hosea:11:7 @
And My people are hanging in suspense ,
about My returning ,
And unto the Most High they do call ,
Together they exalt not .
ylt @
Hosea:11:8 @
How 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 .
ylt @
Hosea:11:9 @
I 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 ,
ylt @
Hosea:11:10 @
After Jehovah they go --
as a lion He roareth ,
When He doth roar ,
then tremble do the sons from the west .
ylt @
Hosea:11:11 @
They 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 .
