1. Early in the morning were they cast off, the king of Israel has been cast off: for Israel is a child, and I loved him, and Mt 2:15 out of Egypt have I called his children.
|
1. When H3588 Israel H3478 was a child H5288 , then I loved H157 him , and called H7121 my son H1121 out of Egypt H4480 H4714 .
|
|
2. As I called them, so they departed from my presence: they sacrificed to Baalim, and burnt incense to graven images.
|
2. As they called H7121 them, so H3651 they went H1980 from H4480 H6440 them : they sacrificed H2076 unto Baalim H1168 , and burned incense H6999 to graven images H6456 .
|
|
3. Yet I See Pr 20:11 bound the feet of Ephraim, I took him on my arm; but they knew not that I healed them.
|
3. I H595 taught Ephraim also to go H8637 H669 , taking H3947 them by H5921 their arms H2220 ; but they knew H3045 not H3808 that H3588 I healed H7495 them.
|
|
4. When men were destroyed, I drew them with the bands of my love: and I will be to them as a man smiting another on his cheek: and I will have respect to him, I will prevail with him.
|
4. I drew H4900 them with cords H2256 of a man H120 , with bands H5688 of love H160 : and I was H1961 to them as they that take off H7311 the yoke H5923 on H5921 their jaws H3895 , and I laid H5186 meat H398 unto H413 them.
|
|
5. Ephraim dwelt in Egypt; and as for the Assyrian, he was his king, because he would not return.
|
5. He shall not H3808 return H7725 into H413 the land H776 of Egypt H4714 , but the Assyrian H804 shall be his king H4428 , because H3588 they refused H3985 to return H7725 .
|
|
6. And in his cities he Or, fell by the sword; Lit. was weak prevailed not with the sword, and he ceased to war with his hands: and they shall eat of the fruit of their own devices:
|
6. And the sword H2719 shall abide H2342 on his cities H5892 , and shall consume H3615 his branches H905 , and devour H398 them , because of their own counsels H4480 H4156 .
|
|
7. and his people shall cleave fondly to their habitation; but God shall be angry with his precious things, and shall not at all exalt him.
|
7. And my people H5971 are bent H8511 to backsliding H4878 from me : though they called H7121 them to H413 the most High H5920 , none at all H3808 H3162 would exalt H7311 him .
|
|
8. How shall I deal with thee, Ephraim? how shall I protect thee, Israel? what shall I do with thee? Or, shall I, etc. I will make thee as Adama, and as Seboim; my heart is turned Or, in the same person, sc. myself at once, my repentance is powerfully excited.
|
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 is turned H2015 within H5921 me , my repentings H5150 are kindled H3648 together H3162 .
|
|
9. I will not act according to the fury of my wrath, I will not abandon Ephraim to be utterly destroyed: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One within thee: and I will not enter into the city.
|
9. I will not H3808 execute H6213 the fierceness H2740 of mine anger H639 , I will not H3808 return H7725 to destroy H7843 Ephraim H669 : for H3588 I H595 am God H410 , and not H3808 man H376 ; the Holy One H6918 in the midst H7130 of thee : and I will not H3808 enter H935 into the city H5892 .
|
|
10. I will go after the Lord: he shall utter his voice as a lion: for he shall roar, and the children of the waters shall be amazed.
|
10. They shall walk H1980 after H310 the LORD H3068 : he shall roar H7580 like a lion H738 : when H3588 he H1931 shall roar H7580 , then the children H1121 shall tremble H2729 from the west H4480 H3220 .
|
|
11. They shall be amazed and fly as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of the Assyrians: and I will restore them to their houses, saith the Lord.
|
11. They shall tremble H2729 as a bird H6833 out of Egypt H4480 H4714 , and as a dove H3123 out of the land H4480 H776 of Assyria H804 : and I will place H3427 them in H5921 their houses H1004 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
12. Ephraim has compassed me with falsehood, and the house of Israel and Juda with ungodliness: but now God knows them, and they shall be called God’s holy people.
|
12. Ephraim H669 compasseth me about H5437 with lies H3585 , and the house H1004 of Israel H3478 with deceit H4820 : but Judah H3063 yet H5750 ruleth H7300 with H5973 God H410 , and is faithful H539 with H5973 the saints H6918 .
