Chapter 11

Israel, as a child, was called out of Egypt in similitude of our Lord, as a child, coming out of Egypt—But Ephraim turns away from the Lord.

 1 When Israel was a child, then I aloved him, and called my bson out of cEgypt.

 2 As they called them, so they went from them: they asacrificed unto bBaalim, and burned incense to graven images.

 3 I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I ahealed them.

 4 I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of alove: and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I laid meat unto them.

 5 ¶He shall not return into the land of aEgypt, but the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to return.

 6 And the sword shall abide on his cities, and shall consume his branches, and devour them, because of their own acounsels.

 7 And my people are bent to abacksliding from me: though they called them to the bmost High, none at all would exalt him.

 8 How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? how shall I deliver thee, Israel? how shall I make thee as aAdmah? how shall I set thee as Zeboim? mine heart is turned bwithin me, my repentings are kindled together.

 9 I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not aenter into the city.

 10 They shall awalk after the Lord: he shall roar like a blion: when he shall roar, then the children shall tremble from the west.

 11 They shall tremble as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria: and I will place them in their houses, saith the Lord.

 12 Ephraim compasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Judah yet aruleth with God, and is faithful with the saints.
