1When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called My son. 1When Israel was a youth I loved him, And out of Egypt I called My son.
2The more they called them, the more they departed from Me. They kept sacrificing to the Baals and burning offerings to idols. 2The more they called them, The more they went from them; They kept sacrificing to the Baals And burning incense to idols.
3It was I who taught Ephraim to walk, taking them in My arms, but they never knew that I healed them. 3Yet it is I who taught Ephraim to walk, I took them in My arms; But they did not know that I healed them.
4I led them with human cords, with ropes of love. To them I was like one who eases the yoke from their jaws; I bent down to give them food. 4I led them with cords of a man, with bonds of love, And I became to them as one who lifts the yoke from their jaws; And I bent down and fed them.
5Israel will not return to the land of Egypt and Assyria will be his king, because they refused to repent. 5They will not return to the land of Egypt; But Assyria-- he will be their king Because they refused to return to Me.
6A sword will whirl through his cities; it will destroy and devour the bars of his gates, because of their schemes. 6The sword will whirl against their cities, And will demolish their gate bars And consume them because of their counsels.
7My people are bent on turning from Me. Though they call to Him on high, He will not exalt them at all. 7So My people are bent on turning from Me. Though they call them to the One on high, None at all exalts Him.
8How can I give you up, Ephraim? How can I surrender you, Israel? How can I make you like Admah? How can I treat you like Zeboiim? I have had a change of heart; My compassion is stirred! 8How can I give you up, O Ephraim? How can I surrender you, O Israel? How can I make you like Admah? How can I treat you like Zeboiim? My heart is turned over within Me, All My compassions are kindled.
9I will not vent the full fury of My anger; I will not turn back to destroy Ephraim. For I am God and not man, the Holy One among you; I will not come in rage. 9I will not execute My fierce anger; I will not destroy Ephraim again. For I am God and not man, the Holy One in your midst, And I will not come in wrath.
10They will follow the LORD; He will roar like a lion. When He roars, His children will come trembling from the west. 10They will walk after the LORD, He will roar like a lion; Indeed He will roar And His sons will come trembling from the west.
11They will be roused like birds from Egypt and like doves from the land of Assyria. Then I will settle them in their homes. This is the LORD's declaration. 11They will come trembling like birds from Egypt And like doves from the land of Assyria; And I will settle them in their houses, declares the LORD.
12 Ephraim surrounds me with lies, the house of Israel, with deceit. Judah still wanders with God and is faithful to the holy ones. 12Ephraim surrounds Me with lies And the house of Israel with deceit; Judah is also unruly against God, Even against the Holy One who is faithful.
