Hosea 11:1-2
EasyEnglish Bible
The Lord still loves his people
11 The Lord says,
‘When Israel was a child, I loved him as my son.
I called my son to come out of Egypt.[a]
2 But the more I spoke to Israel's people,
the more they turned away from me.
They offered sacrifices to the images of Baal.
They burned incense to give honour to their idols.
