Hosea 11
NASB Parallel ISV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
New American Standard Bible 1995International Standard Version
1When Israel was a youth I loved him, And out of Egypt I called My son.1"When Israel was a young child I loved him, and from Egypt I called my son.
2The more they called them, The more they went from them; They kept sacrificing to the Baals And burning incense to idols.2The more I called out to them, the farther they fled from me; they sacrificed to Baals, burning incense to carved images.
3Yet it is I who taught Ephraim to walk, I took them in My arms; But they did not know that I healed them.3Yet it was I who taught Ephraim to walk, supporting them by their arms, but they never knew that I was healing them.
4I led them with cords of a man, with bonds of love, And I became to them as one who lifts the yoke from their jaws; And I bent down and fed them.4I guided them with human kindness, with loving reins. I acted toward them like one who removes a yoke from their neck; I bent down and fed them.
5They will not return to the land of Egypt; But Assyria-- he will be their king Because they refused to return to Me.5"They will not return to the land of Egypt; instead, the Assyrian will be their king, because they kept refusing to repent.
6The sword will whirl against their cities, And will demolish their gate bars And consume them because of their counsels.6The sword will fall on their cities, consuming and devouring their fortified gates, despite their planning.
7So My people are bent on turning from Me. Though they call them to the One on high, None at all exalts Him.7My people are determined to turn away from me; though they call to the Most High, no one is worshiping.
8How can I give you up, O Ephraim? How can I surrender you, O Israel? How can I make you like Admah? How can I treat you like Zeboiim? My heart is turned over within Me, All My compassions are kindled.8"How can I give up on you, Ephraim? I will deliver you, will I not, Israel? How can I treat you like Admah? I can't make you like Zeboim, can I? My heart stirs within me; my compassion also fans into flame!
9I will not execute My fierce anger; I will not destroy Ephraim again. For I am God and not man, the Holy One in your midst, And I will not come in wrath.9I will not act in my anger; I will not return to destroy Ephraim, For I am God, and not a human— the Holy One among you— so I will not enter the city in anger.
10They will walk after the LORD, He will roar like a lion; Indeed He will roar And His sons will come trembling from the west.10They will go after the LORD, who will roar like a lion; and when he roars, the children will come trembling from the west.
11They will come trembling like birds from Egypt And like doves from the land of Assyria; And I will settle them in their houses, declares the LORD.11Trembling like a bird, they will come out of Egypt, and as a dove from the land of Assyria; and I will settle them in their houses," declares the LORD.
12Ephraim surrounds Me with lies And the house of Israel with deceit; Judah is also unruly against God, Even against the Holy One who is faithful.12 "Ephraim surrounds me with lies, and the house of Israel surrounds me with deceit, But Judah still rules with God, and remains faithful, along with the godly ones."
