When Israel was a child, and I loved him, and I called for my son out of Egypt They called to them, thus they went from them: they will sacrifice to the Baals, and to the carved images they will burn incense. And I taught Ephraim to walk, taking them by their arms; and they knew not that I healed them. I will draw them with the cords of man, with the bands of love: and I will be to them as those lifting up the yoke upon their jaw-bones, and I will gently give them to eat He shall not turn back to the land of Egypt, and Assur shall be his king, for they refused to turn back. And the sword was polished in his cities, and it consumed his branches, and devoured from their counsels. And my people are bent to turning away from me: and they will call together to the Most High; he will not exalt them.
How shall I give thee up, O Ephraim? Shall I deliver thee over, O Israel? How shall I give thee as the earth? Shall I set thee as roes? My heart was turned upon me; my grievings were kindled together. I will not do the burning of mine anger, I will not turn back to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not a man; the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not come into the city. They shall go after Jehovah: as a lion shall he roar: for he shall roar, and the sons of the waters shall tremble. They shall tremble as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assur: and I caused them to dwell in their houses, says Jehovah.
Ephraim surrounded me with falsehood, and the house of Israel with deceit: and Judah even ruled with God, and was faithful with the holy ones.
