1: WhenH3588 a child,H5288 Israel [was]H3478 and I loved himH0157 and out of EgyptH4714 I calledH7121 My son.H1121

2: [As] they calledH7121 soH3651 they wentH1980 from themH6440 to the Baals,H1168 they sacrificedH2076 and to carved imagesH6456 burned incense.H6999

3: And IH0595 taught to walkH7270 EphraimH0669 Taking themH3947 byH5921 their arms-H2220 but notH3808 they did knowH3045 thatH3588 I healed them.H7495

4: With cordsH2256 gentle,H0120 I drew themH4900 with bandsH5688 of love,H0160 and I wasH1961 as those who takeH7311 the yokeH5923 fromH5921 their neck,H3895 and I stoopedH0328 themH0413 [and] fed.H0398

5: NotH3808 He shall returnH7725 toH0413 the landH0776 of Egypt,H4714 but AssyriaH0804 itH1931 shall be his king,H4428 becauseH3588 they refusedH3985 to repent.H7725

6: And shall slashH2342 the swordH2719 in his cities,H5892 and DevourH3615 his districts,H0905 and consume [them]H0398 because of their own counsels.H4156

7: And My peopleH5971 are bentH8511 on backsliding from MeH4878 and Though toH0413 the Most High,H5920 they callH7121 at allH3162 noneH3808 exalt [Him].H7311

8: HowH0349 can I give you up,H5414 Ephraim?H0669 [How] can I hand you overH4042 Israel?H3478 howH0349 can I make youH5414 like Admah?H0126 [How] can I set youH7760 like Zeboiim?H6636 churnsH2015 within MeH5921 My heartH3820 togetherH3162 is stirredH3648 My sympathy.H5150

9: NotH3808 I will executeH6213 the fiercenessH2740 of My anger,H0639 notH3808 I will againH7725 destroyH7843 Ephraim-H0669 forH3588 God,H0410 I [am]H0595 and notH3808 manH0582 in your midstH7130 the Holy oneH6918 and notH3808 I will comeH0935 with terror.H5892

10: AfterH0310 Yahweh,H3068 they shall walkH1980 like a lion-H0738 He will roarH7580 whenH3588 HeH1931 roars,H7580 and shall come tremblingH2729 [His] sonsH1121 from the west.H3220

11: They shall come tremblingH2729 like a birdH6833 from EgyptH4714 and Like a doveH3123 from the landH0776 of Assyria-H0804 and I will let them dwellH3427 inH5921 their houses,H1004 saysH5002 Yahweh.H3068

12: Has encircled MeH5437 with lies,H3585 EphraimH0669 and with deceit-H4820 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 but JudahH3063 stillH5750 walksH7300 withH5973 God,H0410 and Even withH5973 the Holy oneH6918 [who is] faithful.H0539
