I called my son out of Egypt
When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son. As they called them, so they went from them. They sacrificed to Baalim and burned incense to carved idols. It was I who taught Ephraim to walk, taking them by the arms. But they didn't know it was I who healed them. I drew them with human cords, with bands of love. I was to them like one who lifts the yoke from their jaws, and I bent down and fed them. He won't go back to the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian will be his king, because they refused to return. The sword will remain on his cities, consume his branches and devour them because of their own counsels. My people are bent on backsliding from me. Though they called them to the Most High, none at all would exalt him. How can I give you up, Ephraim? How can I deliver you, Israel? How can I make you like Admah? How can I set you like Zeboim? My heart is turned within me; my repentings are kindled together. I will not carry out the fierceness of my anger. I will not return to destroy Ephraim. Because I am God and not man, the Holy One among you, and I will not enter into the city. They will follow the Lord. He will roar like a lion. When he roars, his children will come trembling from the west. They will come trembling like birds out of Egypt, like doves out of the land of Assyria. And I will settle them in their homes, says the Lord. Ephraim surrounds me with lies and the people of Israel with deceit. But Judah still rules with God and is faithful with the saints.
When Israel was a child, I loved him, and I called my son out of Egypt. The more they called them, the more they went off from them. They sacrificed to the Baals and burnt incense to carved images. I taught Ephraim to walk, taking them by their arms. And they didn't know I healed them. I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love. And I was to them like the ones who lift the yoke off their jaws, and I laid food in front of them. He won't go back to the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian will be his king, because they refused to turn back. And the sword will stay on his towns and eat up his branches and swallow them, because of their own plans. And my people are set on turning away from me. Though they called them to the Most High, nobody at all would lift him up. How can I give you up, Ephraim? How can I hand you over, Israel? How can I make you like Admah? How can I set you like Zeboyim? My heart is turned over inside me. My pity is stirred right up. I won't do what the heat of my anger says. I won't turn back to wreck Ephraim. Because I'm God and not a man, the Holy One in the middle of you. And I won't come into the town. They'll walk after the Lord. He'll roar like a lion. When he roars, then the children will come shaking from the west. They'll come shaking like a bird out of Egypt, and like a dove out of the land of Assyria. And I'll settle them in their houses, says the Lord. Ephraim has gone round me with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit. But Judah still walks with God and is faithful with the holy ones.
When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt. As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto Baalim, and burned incense to graven images. I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them. I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love: and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I laid meat unto them. He shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to return. And the sword shall abide on his cities, and shall consume his branches, and devour them, because of their own counsels. And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt him. How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? how shall I deliver thee, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? how shall I set thee as Zeboim? mine heart is turned within me, my repentings are kindled together. I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not enter into the city. They shall walk after the LORD: he shall roar like a lion: when he shall roar, then the children shall tremble from the west. They shall tremble as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria: and I will place them in their houses, saith the LORD. Ephraim compasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the saints.
