God Yearns over His People

  1 When° Israel° [was] a youth° I loved° him,
  And aout of Egypt° I bcalled° My son°.
  2 The more Iathey called° them,
  The more° they went° from Ithem;
  They kept bsacrificing° to the Baals°
  And cburning° incense° to idols°.
  3 Yet it is I who taught° Ephraim° to walk°,
  II atook° them in My arms°;
  But they did not know° that I bhealed° them.
  4 I aled° them with cords° of a man°, with bonds° of love°,
  And bI became° to them as one who lifts° the yoke° from their jaws°;
  And I bent° down° [and] cfed° them.

The ingratitude of Israel unto God for his benefits.

1 ¶ When² Israelº [was] a child,º then I lovedºª him, and calledºª my sonº out of Egypt.º² 2 [As] they calledºª them, so² they wentºª from²² them:¹ they sacrificedºª unto Baalim,º and burned incenseºª to graven images.º 3 I² taught¹ª Ephraim¹ also to go,ºª² takingºª them by² their arms;º but they knewºª not² that² I healedºª them. 4 I drewºª them with cordsº of a man,º with bandsº of love:º and I was² to them as they that take offºª the yokeº on² their jaws,º and I laidºª meatºª unto² them.

His judgment.

5 ¶ He shall not² returnºª into² the landº of Egypt,º but the Assyrianº shall be his king,º because² they refusedºª to return.ºª 6 And the swordº shall abideºª on his cities,º and shall consumeºª his branches,º and devourºª [them], because of their own counsels.º² 7 And my peopleº are bentºª to backslidingº from me: though they calledºª them to² the most High,º none at allº² would exaltºª [him].

God's mercy toward them.

8 How² shall I give thee up,ºª Ephraim?º [how] shall I deliverºª thee, Israel?º how² shall I makeºª thee as Admah?º [how] shall I setºª thee as Zeboim?º mine heartº is turnedºª within² me, my repentingsº are kindledºª together.º 9 I will not² executeºª the fiercenessº of mine anger,º I will not² returnºª to destroyºª Ephraim:º for² I² [am] God,º and not² man;º the Holy Oneº in the midstº of thee: and I will not² enterºª into the city.º 10 They shall walk¹ª² afterº the LORD:º he shall roarºª like a lion:º when² he² shall roar,ºª then the childrenº shall trembleºª from the west.º² 11 They shall trembleºª as a birdº out of Egypt,º² and as a doveº out of the landº² of Assyria:º and I will placeºª them in² their houses,º saithºª the LORD.º 12 Ephraimº compasseth¹ª me about² with lies,º and the houseº of Israelº with deceit:º but Judahº yet² rulethºª with² God,º and is faithfulºª with² the saints.º
