Hosea Chapter 11 (NASB)

Compare with Version:

¹ When Israel was a youth I loved him, And out of Egypt I called My son.

² The more [117]they called them, The more they went away from [118]them; They kept sacrificing to the Baals And burning incense to idols.

³ Yet it is I who taught Ephraim to walk, [119]I took them in My arms; But they did not know that I healed them.

⁴ I pulled them along with cords of a man, with ropes of love, And I became to them as one who lifts the yoke from their jaws; And I bent down and fed them.

⁵ [120]They will not return to the land of Egypt; But Assyria—he will be [121]their king Because they refused to return to Me.

⁶ And the sword will whirl against [122]their cities, And will destroy [123]their oracle priests And consume them, because of their counsels.

⁷ So My people are determined to turn from Me. Though [124]they call [125]them to the One on high, None at all exalts Him.

⁸ How can I give you up, Ephraim? How can I surrender you, Israel? How can I [126]make you like Admah? How can I treat you like Zeboiim? My heart is turned over within Me, [127]All My compassions are kindled.

⁹ I will not carry out My fierce anger; I will not destroy Ephraim again. For I am God and not a man, the Holy One in your midst, And I will not come in [128]wrath.

¹⁰ They will walk after the LORD, He will roar like a lion; Indeed He will roar, And His sons will come trembling from the west.

¹¹ They 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 [129]Ephraim surrounds Me with lies And the house of Israel with deceit; [130]Judah is still unruly against God, Even against the Holy One who is faithful.

#	NASB
1	When Israel was a youth I loved him, And out of Egypt I called My son.
2	The more [117]they called them, The more they went away from [118]them; They kept sacrificing to the Baals And burning incense to idols.
3	Yet it is I who taught Ephraim to walk, [119]I took them in My arms; But they did not know that I healed them.
4	I pulled them along with cords of a man, with ropes of love, And I became to them as one who lifts the yoke from their jaws; And I bent down and fed them.
5	[120]They will not return to the land of Egypt; But Assyria—he will be [121]their king Because they refused to return to Me.
6	And the sword will whirl against [122]their cities, And will destroy [123]their oracle priests And consume them, because of their counsels.
7	So My people are determined to turn from Me. Though [124]they call [125]them to the One on high, None at all exalts Him.
8	How can I give you up, Ephraim? How can I surrender you, Israel? How can I [126]make you like Admah? How can I treat you like Zeboiim? My heart is turned over within Me, [127]All My compassions are kindled.
9	I will not carry out My fierce anger; I will not destroy Ephraim again. For I am God and not a man, the Holy One in your midst, And I will not come in [128]wrath.
10	They will walk after the LORD, He will roar like a lion; Indeed He will roar, And His sons will come trembling from the west.
11	They 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	[129]Ephraim surrounds Me with lies And the house of Israel with deceit; [130]Judah is still unruly against God, Even against the Holy One who is faithful.
