Hosea 11 (kjv)

11

When IsraelH3478 was a childH5288, then I lovedH157 him, and calledH7121 my sonH1121 out of EgyptH4714.2As they calledH7121 them, so they wentH1980 from themH6440: they sacrificedH2076 unto BaalimH1168, and burned incenseH6999 to graven imagesH6456.3I taughtH8637 EphraimH669 also to goH8637, takingH3947 them by their armsH2220; but they knewH3045 not that I healedH7495 them.4I drewH4900 them with cordsH2256 of a manH120, with bandsH5688 of loveH160: and I was to them as they that take offH7311 the yokeH5923 on their jawsH3895, and I laidH5186 meatH398 unto them.

5He shall not returnH7725 into the landH776 of EgyptH4714, but the AssyrianH804 shall be his kingH4428, because they refusedH3985 to returnH7725.6And the swordH2719 shall abideH2342 on his citiesH5892, and shall consumeH3615 his branchesH905, and devourH398 them, because of their own counselsH4156.7And my peopleH5971 are bentH8511 to backslidingH4878 from me: though they calledH7121 them to the most HighH5920, none at allH3162 would exaltH7311 him.

8How shall I give thee upH5414, EphraimH669? how shall I deliverH4042 thee, IsraelH3478? how shall I makeH5414 thee as AdmahH126? how shall I setH7760 thee as ZeboimH6636? mine heartH3820 is turnedH2015 within me, my repentingsH5150 are kindledH3648 togetherH3162.9I will not executeH6213 the fiercenessH2740 of mine angerH639, I will not returnH7725 to destroyH7843 EphraimH669: for I am GodH410, and not manH376; the Holy OneH6918 in the midstH7130 of thee: and I will not enterH935 into the cityH5892.10They shall walkH3212 afterH310 the LORDH3068: he shall roarH7580 like a lionH738: when he shall roarH7580, then the childrenH1121 shall trembleH2729 from the westH3220.11They shall trembleH2729 as a birdH6833 out of EgyptH4714, and as a doveH3123 out of the landH776 of AssyriaH804: and I will placeH3427 them in their housesH1004, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.

12EphraimH669 compassethH5437 me about with liesH3585, and the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 with deceitH4820: but JudahH3063 yet rulethH7300 with GodH410, and is faithfulH539 with the saintsH6918.
