6 Bible Verses about Israel As Sons Of God

“Is Ephraim My dear son?
Is he a darling and beloved child?
For as often as I have spoken against him,
I certainly still remember him.
Therefore My affection is renewed and My heart longs for him;
I will surely have mercy on him,” says the Lord.

“You are the sons of the Lord your God; you shall not cut yourselves nor shave your forehead for the sake of the dead,

I said, “You are gods;
Indeed, all of you are sons of the Most High.

If I had said, “I will say this,” [and expressed my feelings],
I would have betrayed the generation of Your children.

“Then I said,

‘How [gloriously and honorably] I would set you among My children
And give you a pleasant land—a wonderful heritage,
The most beautiful inheritance of the nations!’
And I said, ‘You shall call Me, My Father
And not turn away from following Me.’

“They (Israel) have acted corruptly toward Him.
They are not His children, because of their [moral] defect;
But are a perverse and crooked generation.
