1 When H3588 CONJ Israel H3478 was a child H5288 , then I loved H157 him , and called H7121 VQQ1CS my son H1121 out of Egypt H4714 .
2 As they called H7121 them , so H3651 ADV they went H1980 VQQ3MP from M-CMP-3MP them : they sacrificed H2076 unto Baalim H1168 , and burned incense H6999 to graven images H6456 .
3 I H595 W-PPRO-1MS taught Ephraim also to go H8637 , taking H3947 them by H5921 PREP their arms H2220 ; but they knew H3045 VQQ3MP not H3808 W-NPAR that H3588 CONJ I healed H7495 them .
4 I drew H4900 them with cords H2256 B-CMP of a man H120 NMS , with bands H5688 of love H160 : and I was H1961 W-VQY1MS to them as they that take off H7311 the yoke H5923 on H5921 PREP their jaws H3895 , and I laid H5186 meat H398 unto H413 PREP-3MS them .
5 He shall not H3808 NADV return H7725 VQY3MS into H413 PREP the land H776 GFS of Egypt H4714 EFS , but the Assyrian H804 W-EMS shall be his king H4428 , because H3588 CONJ they refused H3985 to return H7725 .
6 And the sword H2719 GFS shall abide H2342 on his cities H5892 , and shall consume H3615 his branches H905 , and devour H398 them , because of their own counsels H4156 .
7 And my people H5971 are bent H8511 to backsliding H4878 from me : though they called H7121 them to H413 W-PREP the most High H5920 , none at all H3808 NADV would exalt H7311 him .
8 How H349 shall I give thee up H5414 , Ephraim H669 ? how shall I deliver H4042 thee , Israel H3478 ? how H349 shall I make H5414 thee as Admah H126 ? how shall I set H7760 thee as Zeboim H6636 ? mine heart H3820 NMS-1MS is turned H2015 VNQ3MS within H5921 PREP-1MS me , my repentings H5150 are kindled H3648 together H3162 ADV .
9 I will not H3808 NADV execute H6213 VQY1MS the fierceness H2740 CMS of mine anger H639 CMS-1MS , I will not H3808 NADV return H7725 VQY1MS to destroy H7843 L-VPFC Ephraim H669 : for H3588 CONJ I H595 PPRO-1MS am God H410 EDS , and not H3808 W-NADV man H376 ; the Holy One H6918 in the midst H7130 of thee : and I will not H3808 W-NADV enter H935 VQI1MS into the city H5892 .
10 They shall walk H1980 after H310 PREP the LORD H3068 EDS : he shall roar H7580 like a lion H738 : when H3588 CONJ he H1931 PPRO-3MS shall roar H7580 VQY3MS , then the children H1121 NMP shall tremble H2729 from the west H3220 .
11 They shall tremble H2729 as a bird H6833 out of Egypt H4714 M-TFS , and as a dove H3123 out of the land H776 M-NFS of Assyria H804 GFS : and I will place H3427 them in H5921 PREP their houses H1004 CMP-3MP , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
12 Ephraim H669 compasseth me about H5437 with lies H3585 , and the house H1004 CMS of Israel H3478 with deceit H4820 : but Judah H3063 yet H5750 ADV ruleth H7300 with H5973 PREP God H410 EDS , and is faithful H539 with H5973 the saints H6918 .
