| 1 | When Israel was a child, then I loved him, And out of Egypt I called My son. |
| 2 | The more they called them, the more they went from them; They sacrificed unto the Baalim, And offered to graven images. |
| 3 | And I, I taught Ephraim to walk, 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 fed them gently. |
| 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 fall upon his cities, And shall consume his bars, and devour them, Because of their own counsels. |
| 7 | And My people are in suspense about returning to Me; And though they call them upwards, None at all will lift himself up. |
| 8 | How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? How shall I surrender thee, Israel? How shall I make thee as Admah? How shall I set thee as Zeboim? My heart is turned within Me, My compassions are kindled together. |
| 9 | I will not execute the fierceness of Mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim; For I am God, and not man, The Holy One in the midst of thee; And I will not come in fury. |
| 10 | They shall walk after the LORD, Who shall roar like a lion; For He shall roar, And the children shall come trembling from the west. |
| 11 | They shall come trembling as a bird out of Egypt, And as a dove out of the land of Assyria; And I will make them to dwell in their houses, saith the LORD. |
