Hosea 11

1 ♥ 📝 W hen Israel^H3478 was a child,^H5288 then I loved^H157 him, and called^H7121 my son^H1121 out of Egypt.^H4714

2 ♥ 📝 The more [the prophets] called^H7121 them, the more they went^H1980 from them:^H6440 they sacrificed^H2076 unto the Baalim,^H1168 and burned incense^H6999 to graven images.^H6456

3 ♥ 📝 Yet I taught^H8637 Ephraim^H669 to walk;^H8637 I took^H3947 them on my arms;^H2220 but they knew^H3045 not that I healed^H7495 them.

4 ♥ 📝 I drew^H4900 them with cords^H2256 of a man,^H120 with bands^H5688 of love;^H160 and I was to them as they that lift up^H7311 the yoke^H5923 on their jaws;^H3895 and I laid^H5186 food^H398 before them.

5 ♥ 📝 They shall not return^H7725 into the land^H776 of Egypt;^H4714 but the Assyrian^H804 shall be their king,^H4428 because they refused^H3985 to return^H7725 [to me].

6 ♥ 📝 And the sword^H2719 shall fall^H2342 upon their cities,^H5892 and shall consume^H3615 their bars,^H905 and devour^H398 [them], because of their own counsels.^H4156

7 ♥ 📝 And my people^H5971 are bent^H8511 on backsliding^H4878 from me: though they call^H7121 them to [him that is] on high,^H5920 none at all^H3162 will exalt^H7311 [him].

8 ♥ 📝 How shall I give thee up,^H5414 Ephraim?^H669 [how] shall I cast^H4042 thee off, Israel?^H3478 how shall I make^H5414 thee as Admah?^H126 [how] shall I set^H7760 thee as Zeboiim?^H6636 my heart^H3820 is turned^H2015 within me, my compassions^H5150 are kindled^H3648 together.^H3162

9 ♥ 📝 I will not execute^H6213 the fierceness^H2740 of mine anger,^H639 I will not return^H7725 to destroy^H7843 Ephraim:^H669 for I am God,^H410 and not man;^H376 the Holy One^H6918 in the midst^H7130 of thee; and I will not come^H935 in wrath.^H5892

10 ♥ 📝 They shall walk^H3212 after^H310 Jehovah,^H3068 who will roar^H7580 like a lion;^H738 for he will roar,^H7580 and the children^H1121 shall come trembling^H2729 from the west.^H3220

11 ♥ 📝 They shall come trembling^H2729 as a bird^H6833 out of Egypt,^H4714 and as a dove^H3123 out of the land^H776 of Assyria;^H804 and I will make^H3427 them to dwell in their houses,^H1004 saith^H5002 Jehovah.^H3068

12 ♥ 📝 Ephraim^H669 compasseth^H5437 me about with falsehood,^H3585 and the house^H1004 of Israel^H3478 with deceit;^H4820 but Judah^H3063 yet ruleth^H7300 with God,^H410 and is faithful^H539 with the Holy^H6918 One.
