11 “When Israel was a ^[a]child, I loved him,
And out of Egypt ^(A)I called My ^(B)son.

^9 (A)They shall come with weeping,
And with supplications I will lead them.
I will cause them to walk ^(B)by the rivers of waters,
In a straight way in which they shall not stumble;
For I am a Father to Israel,
And Ephraim is My ^(C)firstborn.

¹⁸ “I ^(A)will be a Father to you,
And you shall be My ^(B)sons and daughters,
Says the Lord Almighty.”

^16 (A)Doubtless You are our Father,
Though Abraham ^(B)was ignorant of us,
And Israel does not acknowledge us.
You, O Lord, are our Father;
Our Redeemer from Everlasting is Your name.
