Hosea 11:1-7
Authorized (King James) Version
11 When Israel was a child, then I loved him,
and called my son out of Egypt.
2 As they called them, so they went from them:
they sacrificed unto Baalim,
and burned incense to graven images.
3 I taught Ephraim also to go,
taking them by their arms;
but they knew not that I healed them.
4 I drew them with cords of a man,
with bands of love:
and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws,
and I laid meat unto them.
5 He shall not return into the land of Egypt,
but the Assyrian shall be his king,
because they refused to return.
6 And the sword shall abide on his cities,
and shall consume his branches, and devour them,
because of their own counsels.
7 And my people are bent to backsliding from me:
though they called them to the most High,
none at all would exalt him.
Hosea 11:1-7
American Standard Version
11 When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt. 2 The more the prophets called them, the more they went from them: they sacrificed unto the Baalim, and burned incense to graven images. 3 Yet I taught Ephraim to walk; [a]I took them on my arms; but they knew not that I healed them. 4 I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love; and I was to them as they that lift up the yoke on their jaws; and I laid food before them.
5 They shall not return into the land of Egypt; but the Assyrian shall be their king, because they refused to return to me. 6 And the sword shall [b]fall upon their cities, and shall consume their bars, and devour them, because of their own counsels. 7 And my people are bent on backsliding from me: though they call them to him that is on high, none at all will [c]exalt him.
