# ***HOSEA 11***

---

*The LORD’s Love for Israel*

\[1\] When Israel was a child, I loved him,

and out of Egypt I called my son.

\[2\] The more they were called,

the more they went away;

they kept sacrificing to the Baals

and burning offerings to idols.

\[3\] 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.

\[4\] 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.

\[5\] They shall not return to the land of Egypt,

but Assyria shall be their king,

because they have refused to return to me.

\[6\] The sword shall rage against their cities,

consume the bars of their gates,

and devour them because of their own counsels.

\[7\] 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.

\[8\] 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.

\[9\] 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.

\[10\] They shall go after the LORD;

he will roar like a lion;

when he roars,

his children shall come trembling from the west;

\[11\] 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.

\[12\] 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. (ESV)
