[1]When IsraelH3478 was a childH5288, then I lovedH157[H8799] him, and calledH7121[H8804] my sonH1121 out of EgyptH4714.
[2]As they calledH7121[H8804] them, so they wentH1980[H8804] from themH6440: they sacrificedH2076[H8762] unto BaalimH1168, and burned incenseH6999[H8762] to graven imagesH6456.
[3]I taughtH8637 EphraimH669 also to goH8637[H8809], takingH3947[H8800] them by their armsH2220; but they knewH3045[H8804] not that I healedH7495 themH8804.
[4]I drewH4900[H8799] them with cordsH2256 of a manH120, with bandsH5688 of loveH160: and I was to them as they that take offH7311[H8688] the yokeH5923 on their jawsH3895, and I laidH5186[H8686] meatH398 unto themH8686.
[5]He shall not returnH7725[H8799] into the landH776 of EgyptH4714, but the AssyrianH804 shall be his kingH4428, because they refusedH3985[H8765] to returnH7725.[H8800]
[6]And the swordH2719 shall abideH2342[H8804] on his citiesH5892, and shall consumeH3615[H8765] his branchesH905, and devourH398[H8804] them, because of their own counselsH4156.
[7]And my peopleH5971 are bentH8511[H8803] to backslidingH4878 from me: though they calledH7121[H8799] them to the most HighH5920, none at allH3162 would exaltH7311 himH8787.
[8]How shall I give thee upH5414[H8799], EphraimH669? how shall I deliverH4042[H8762] thee, IsraelH3478? how shall I makeH5414[H8799] thee as AdmahH126? how shall I setH7760[H8799] thee as ZeboimH6636? mine heartH3820 is turnedH2015[H8738] within me, my repentingsH5150 are kindledH3648[H8738] togetherH3162.
[9]I will not executeH6213[H8799] the fiercenessH2740 of mine angerH639, I will not returnH7725[H8799] to destroyH7843[H8763] EphraimH669: for I am GodH410, and not manH376; the Holy OneH6918 in the midstH7130 of thee: and I will not enterH935[H8799] into the cityH5892.
[10]They shall walkH3212[H8799] afterH310 the LORDH3068: he shall roarH7580[H8799] like a lionH738: when he shall roarH7580[H8799], then the childrenH1121 shall trembleH2729[H8799] from the westH3220.
[11]They shall trembleH2729[H8799] as a birdH6833 out of EgyptH4714, and as a doveH3123 out of the landH776 of AssyriaH804: and I will placeH3427[H8689] them in their housesH1004, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068.
[12]EphraimH669 compassethH5437[H8804] me about with liesH3585, and the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 with deceitH4820: but JudahH3063 yet rulethH7300[H8804] with GodH410, and is faithfulH539[H8737] with the saintsH6918.
