11:1 1 The benefits of the Lord toward Israel. 5 Their ingratitude against him. When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.
11:2 They called them, but they went thus from them: they sacrificed unto Baal, and burnt incense to images.
11:3 I led Ephraim also, as one should bear them in his arms: but they knew not that I healed them.
11:4 I led them with cords of a man, even with bands of love, and I was to them, as he was taketh off the yoke from their jaws, and I laid the meat unto them.
11:5 He shall no more return into the land of Egypt: but Assyria shall be his King, because they refused to convert.
11:6 And the sword shall fall on his cities, and shall consume his bars, and devour them, because of their own counsels.
11:7 And my people are bent to rebellion against me: though they called them to the most high, yet none at all would exalt him.
11:8 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 rouled together.
11:9 I will not execute the fierceness of my wrath: 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.
11:10 They shall walk after the Lord: he shall roar like a lion: when he shall roar, then the children of the West shall fear.
11:11 They shall fear as a sparrow out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria, and I will place them in their houses, saith the Lord.
11:12 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.
