1 When Israel was young, I loued him, and called my sonne out of the lande of Egypt. When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son. “When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son.
2 They called them but they went thus from them: they sacrificed vnto Baal, and burned incense to images. The more they were called, the more they went away; they kept sacrificing to the Baals and burning offerings to idols. But the more they were called, the more they went away from me. They sacrificed to the Baals and they burned incense to images.
3 I gaue to Ephraim one to leade him, who shoulde beare him in his armes: but they knew not that I healed them. Yet it was I who taught Ephraim to walk; I took them up by their arms, but they did not know that I healed them. It was I who taught Ephraim to walk, taking them by the arms; but they did not realize it was I who healed them.
4 I led them with cordes of a man euen with bandes of loue: and I was to them as he that taketh of the yoke from their iawes, and I layde meate to them. I led them with cords of kindness, with the bands of love, and I became to them as one who eases the yoke on their jaws, and I bent down to them and fed them. I led them with cords of human kindness, with ties of love. To them I was like one who lifts a little child to the cheek, and I bent down to feed them.
5 He shall no more returne into Egypt, but Asshur shalbe his king, because he refused to conuert. They shall not return to the land of Egypt, but Assyria shall be their king, because they have refused to return to me. “Will they not return to Egypt and will not Assyria rule over them because they refuse to repent?
6 Therfore shall the sworde fall on his cities, & shall consume his braunches, and deuour them, because of their owne counsayles. The sword shall rage against their cities, consume the bars of their gates, and devour them because of their own counsels. A sword will flash in their cities; it will devour their false prophets and put an end to their plans.
7 And my people shall stande in a doubt whither to turne them: for when the prophetes called them to the most hyest, not one yet woulde geue him his glorie. My people are bent on turning away from me, and though they call out to the Most High, he shall not raise them up at all. My people are determined to turn from me. Even though they call me God Most High, I will by no means exalt them.
8 Howe shall I geue thee vp Ephraim? howe shal I deliuer thee Israel? howe shall I make thee as Adama? howe shall I set thee as Zeboim? mine heart is turned within me, my repentinges are kindled within me. How can I give you up, O Ephraim? How can I hand you over, O Israel? How can I make you like Admah? How can I treat you like Zeboiim? My heart recoils within me; my compassion grows warm and tender. “How can I give you up, Ephraim? How can I hand you over, Israel? How can I treat you like Admah? How can I make you like Zeboyim? My heart is changed within me; all my compassion is aroused.
9 I wyll not execute the fiercenesse of my wrath, I wyl not returne to destroy Ephraim: for I am God and not man, the holy one in the middest of thee, and I wyll not enter into the citie. I will not execute my burning anger; I will not again destroy Ephraim; for I am God and not a man, the Holy One in your midst, and I will not come in wrath. I will not carry out my fierce anger, nor will I devastate Ephraim again. For I am God, and not a man— the Holy One among you. I will not come against their cities.
10 They shall walke after the Lorde, he shall rose like a lion: when he shall rose, then the children of the west shall feare. They shall go after the LORD; he will roar like a lion; when he roars, his children shall come trembling from the west; They will follow the LORD; he will roar like a lion. When he roars, his children will come trembling from the west.
11 They shall feare a as sparowe out of Egypt, and as a doue out of the lande of Asshur, and I wyll place them in their houses, saith the Lorde. they shall come trembling like birds from Egypt, and like doves from the land of Assyria, and I will return them to their homes, declares the LORD. They will come from Egypt, trembling like sparrows, from Assyria, fluttering like doves. I will settle them in their homes,” declares the LORD.
12 Ephraim compasseth me about with lyes, & the house of Israel with deceipt: but Iuda yet ruleth with God, and is faithfull with the saintes. Ephraim has surrounded me with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit, but Judah still walks with God and is faithful to the Holy One. Ephraim has surrounded me with lies, Israel with deceit. And Judah is unruly against God, even against the faithful Holy One.
