jub - Hosea:11

jub@Hosea:11:1 @ When Israel [was] a boy, [I] loved him and called my son out of Egypt.

jub@Hosea:11:2 @ [As] they called them, so they went from them; they sacrificed unto Baalim, and burned incense to graven images.

jub@Hosea:11:3 @ Even with all this I guided the feet of [this] same Ephraim, taking them by their arms; but they did not know that I cared for them.

jub@Hosea:11:4 @ I drew them with human cords, with bands of love, and I was to them as those that raise the yoke from upon their cheeks, and I fed them.

jub@Hosea:11:5 @ He shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be his king because they refused to be converted.

jub@Hosea:11:6 @ And the sword shall fall upon his cities and shall consume his villages and devour [them] because of their own counsels.

jub@Hosea:11:7 @ Meanwhile, my people adhere to the rebellion against me though they call unto me upon High; absolutely none at all wish to exalt me.

jub@Hosea:11:8 @ How must I leave thee, Ephraim? [how] shall I give thee up, Israel? how could I make thee as Admah? nor set thee as Zeboim? my heart churns within me; all my compassion is inflamed.

jub@Hosea:11:9 @ I will not execute the fierceness of my anger; I will not return to destroy Ephraim; for I [am] God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee; and I will not enter into the city.

jub@Hosea:11:10 @ They shall walk after the LORD; he shall roar like a lion; when he shall roar, then the sons shall come trembling from the west.

jub@Hosea:11:11 @ As a bird they shall move speedily out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria; and I will place them in their houses, saith the LORD.

jub@Hosea:11:12 @ Ephraim compasses me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit; but Judah yet rules with God and is faithful with the saints.:
