6 Bible Verses about Israel As Sons Of God

Isn’t Ephraim a precious son to Me,
a delightful child?
Whenever I speak against him,
I certainly still think about him.
Therefore, My inner being yearns for him;
I will truly have compassion on him.
This is the Lord’s declaration.

“You are sons of the Lord your God; do not cut yourselves or make a bald spot on your head on behalf of the dead,

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

If I had decided to say these things aloud,
I would have betrayed Your people.

I thought: How I long to make you My sons
and give you a desirable land,
the most beautiful inheritance of all the nations.
I thought: You will call Me, my Father,
and never turn away from Me.

His people have acted corruptly toward Him;
this is their defect—they are not His children
but a devious and crooked generation.
