Hosea - Chapter 11

1I fell in love with Yisrael When he was still a child; And I have called [him] My son Ever since Egypt.

ki NA-ar yis-ra-AYL va-o-ha-VE-hu u-mi-mitz-RA-yim ka-RA-tee liv-NEE

אכִּ֛י נַ֥עַר יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל וָאֹהֲבֵ֑הוּ וּמִמִּצְרַ֖יִם קָרָ֥אתִי לִבְנִֽי׃

2Thus were they called, But they went their own way; They sacrifice to Baalim And offer to carved images.

3I have pampered Efraim, Taking them in My arms; But they have ignored My healing care.

4I drew them with human ties, With cords of love; But I seemed to them as one Who imposed a yoke on their jaws, Though I was offering them food.

5No! They return to the land of Egypt, And Assyria is their king. Because they refuse to repent,

lo ya-SHUv el E-retz mitz-RA-yim v'-a-SHUR HU mal-KO, ki me-a-NU la-SHUv.

6A sword shall descend upon their towns And consume their limbs And devour [them] because of their designs.

7For My people persists In its defection from Me; When it is summoned upward, It does not rise at all.

8How can I give you up, O Efraim? How surrender you, O Yisrael? How can I make you like Admah, Render you like Zeboiim? I have had a change of heart, All My tenderness is stirred.

9I will not act on My wrath, Will not turn to destroy Efraim. For I am Hashem, not man, The Holy One in your midst: I will not come in fury.

10Hashem will roar like a lion, And they shall march behind Him; When He roars, His children shall come Fluttering out of the west.

11They shall flutter from Egypt like sparrows, From the land of Assyria like doves; And I will settle them in their homes —declares Hashem.
