Hosea 11
1
“When Israel was a child, then I loved him,
2
They called to them, so they went from them.
3
Yet I taught Ephraim to walk.
4

5
“They won’t return into the land of Egypt;
6
The sword will fall on their cities,
7
My people are determined to turn from me.
8
“How can I give you up, Ephraim?
9
I will not execute the fierceness of my anger.
10
They will walk after the LORD,
11
They will come trembling like a bird out of Egypt,
12
Ephraim surrounds me with falsehood,
