New King James Version, 1982 - Hosea 11 (NKJV Bible)

Hosea Chapter 11 (NKJV Bible)

Compare with Version:

¹ “When Israel was a child, I loved him, And out of Egypt [1†]I called My [2†]son.

² As they called them, So they [3†]went from them; They sacrificed to the Baals, And burned incense to carved images.

³ “I [4†] taught Ephraim to walk, Taking them by their arms; But they did not know that [5†]I healed them.

⁴ I drew them with gentle cords, With bands of love, And [6†]I was to them as those who take the yoke from their neck. [7†]I stooped and fed them.

⁵ “He shall not return to the land of Egypt; But the Assyrian shall be his king, Because they refused to repent.

⁶ And the sword shall slash in his cities, Devour his districts, And consume them, Because of their own counsels.

⁷ My people are bent on [8†]backsliding from Me. Though they call to the Most High, None at all exalt Him.

⁸ “How [9†] can I give you up, Ephraim? How can I hand you over, Israel? How can I make you like [10†]Admah? How can I set you like Zeboiim? My heart churns within Me; My sympathy is stirred.

⁹ I will not execute the fierceness of My anger; I will not again destroy Ephraim. [11†]For I am God, and not man, The Holy One in your midst; And I will not come with terror.

¹⁰ “They shall walk after the LORD. [12†]He will roar like a lion. When He roars, Then His sons shall come trembling from the west;

¹¹ They shall come trembling like a bird from Egypt, [13†]Like a dove from the land of Assyria. [14†]And I will let them dwell in their houses,” Says the LORD.

¹² “Ephraim has encircled Me with lies, And the house of Israel with deceit; But Judah still walks with God, Even with the Holy One who is faithful.
