Chapter 11

1

 As the morning passeth, so hath the king of Israel Israel was a child, and I loved him: and I called my son out of Egypt. 

 


2

 As they called them, they went away from before their face: they offered victims to Baalim, and sacrificed to idols. 

 


3

 And I was like a foster father to Ephraim, I carried them in my arms: and they knew not that I healed them. 

 


4

 I will draw them with the cords of Adam, with the bands of love : and I will be to them as one that taketh off the yoke on their jaws: and I put his meat to him that he might eat. 

 


5

 He shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be his king: because they would not be converted. 

 


6

 The sword hath begun in his cities, and it shall consume his chosen men, and sha.ll devour their heads. 

 


7

 And my people shall long for my return: but a yoke shall be put upon them together, which shall not be taken off. 

 


8

 How shall I deal with thee, O Ephraim, shall I protect thee, O Israel? how shall I make thee as Adama, shall I set thee as Seboim? my heart is turned within me, my repentance is stirred up. 

 


9

 I will not execute the fierceness of my wrath: I will not return to destroy Ephraim: because I am God, and not man: the holy one in the midst of thee, and I will not enter into the city. 

 


10

 They shall walk after the Lord, he shall roar as a lion: because he shall roar, and the children of the sea shall fear. 

 


11

 And they shall fly away like a bird out of Egypt, and like a dove out of the land of the Assyrians: and I will place them in their own houses, saith the Lord. 

 


12

 Ephraim hath compassed me about with denials, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Juda went down as a witness with God, and is faithful with the saints.
