1When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called My son.1When Israel was a young man, I loved him like a son, and I summoned my son out of Egypt.
2But the more I called Israel, the farther they departed from Me. They sacrificed to the Baals and burned incense to carved images.2But the more I summoned them, the farther they departed from me. They sacrificed to the Baal idols and burned incense to images.
3It was I who taught Ephraim to walk, taking them in My arms, but they never realized that it was I who healed them.3Yet it was I who led Ephraim, I took them by the arm; but they did not acknowledge that I had healed them.
4I led them with cords of kindness, with ropes of love; I lifted the yoke from their necks and bent down to feed them.4I led them with leather cords, with leather ropes; I lifted the yoke from their neck, and gently fed them.

6A sword will flash through their cities; it will destroy the bars of their gates and consume them in their own plans.6A sword will flash in their cities, it will destroy the bars of their city gates, and will devour them in their fortresses.

8How could I give you up, O Ephraim? How could I surrender you, O Israel? How could I make you like Admah? How could I treat you like Zeboiim? My heart is turned within Me; My compassion is stirred!8How can I give you up, O Ephraim? How can I surrender you, O Israel? How can I treat you like Admah? How can I make you like Zeboiim? I have had a change of heart! All my tender compassions are aroused!
9I will not execute the full fury of My anger; I will not turn back to destroy Ephraim. For I am God and not man—the Holy One among you—and I will not come in wrath.9I cannot carry out my fierce anger! I cannot totally destroy Ephraim! Because I am God, and not man--the Holy One among you--I will not come in wrath!
10They will walk after the LORD; He will roar like a lion. When He roars, His children will come trembling from the west.10He will roar like a lion, and they will follow the LORD; when he roars, his children will come trembling from the west.
11They will come trembling like birds from Egypt and like doves from the land of Assyria. Then I will settle them in their homes, declares the LORD.11They will return in fear and trembling like birds from Egypt, like doves from Assyria, and I will settle them in their homes," declares the LORD.
12Ephraim surrounds Me with lies, the house of Israel with deceit; but Judah still walks with God and is faithful to the Holy One.12Ephraim has surrounded me with lies; the house of Israel has surrounded me with deceit. But Judah still roams about with God; he remains faithful to the Holy One.
