| 1 | When Israel was a childe, then I loued him, and called my sonne out of Egypt. |
| 2 | As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed vnto Baalim, and burnt incense to grauen images. |
| 3 | I taught Ephraim also to goe, taking them by their armes: but they knew not that I healed them. |
| 4 | I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of loue, and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their iawes, and I laid meat vnto them. |
| 5 | He shall not returne into the land of Egypt; but the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to returne |
| 6 | And the sword shall abide on his cities, and shall consume his branches, and deuoure them, because of their own counsels. |
| 7 | And my people are bent to backesliding from mee: though they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt him. |
| 8 | How shall I giue thee vp, Ephraim? how shall I deliuer thee, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? how shall I set thee as Zeboim? mine heart is turned within mee, my repentings are kindled together. |
| 9 | I will not execute the fiercenes of mine anger, I will not returne to destroy Ephraim, for I am God, and not man, the Holy One in the midst of thee, and I will not enter into the citie. |
| 10 | They shal walke after the Lord: he shall roare like a lyon: when he shall roare, then the children shall tremble from the West. |
| 11 | They shall tremble as a bird out of Egypt, and as a doue out of the land of Assyria: and I will place them in their houses, saith the Lord. |
| 12 | Ephraim compasseth mee about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Iudah yet ruleth with God, and is faithfull with the Saints. |
