El amor de Dios por Israel

11 «Desde que Israel era niño, yo lo amé.
    De Egipto llamé a mi hijo,
pero cuanto más lo llamaba,
    más se alejaba de mí.[a]
Sacrificaban a los baales
    y quemaban incienso a los ídolos.
Fui quien enseñó a caminar a Efraín,
    tomándolo de los brazos.
Pero él no quiso reconocer
    que era yo quien lo sanaba.

Dios ama a su pueblo rebelde

11 »Cuando el pueblo de Israel era niño, yo lo amaba;
a él, que era mi hijo, lo llamé de Egipto.
Pero cuanto más lo llamaba,
más se apartaba de mí.
Mi pueblo ofrecía sacrificios a los dioses falsos
y quemaba incienso a los ídolos.
Con todo, yo guié al pueblo de Efraín
y lo enseñé a caminar;
pero ellos no comprendieron que era yo quien los cuidaba.

As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto Baalim, and burned incense to graven images.

I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them.
