World English Bible Classic
[1] “When Israel was a child, then I loved him,
and called my son out of Egypt.
[2] They called to them, so they went from them.
They sacrificed to the Baals,
and burned incense to engraved images.
[3] Yet I taught Ephraim to walk.
I took them by their arms,
but they didn’t know that I healed them.
[4] I drew them with cords of a man, with ties of love;
and I was to them like those who lift up the yoke on their necks;
and I bent down to him and I fed him. [5] “They won’t return into the land of Egypt;
but the Assyrian will be their king,
because they refused to repent.
[6] The sword will fall on their cities,
and will destroy the bars of their gates,
and will put an end to their plans.
[7] My people are determined to turn from me.
Though they call to the Most High,
he certainly won’t exalt them. [8] “How can I give you up, Ephraim?
How can I hand you over, Israel?
How can I make you like Admah?
How can I make you like Zeboiim?
My heart is turned within me,
my compassion is aroused.
[9] I will not execute the fierceness of my anger.
I will not return to destroy Ephraim,
for I am God, and not man—the Holy One among you.
I will not come in wrath.
[10] They will walk after Yahweh,
who will roar like a lion;
for he will roar, and the children will come trembling from the west.
[11] They will come trembling like a bird out of Egypt,
and like a dove out of the land of Assyria;
and I will settle them in their houses,” says Yahweh. [12] Ephraim surrounds me with falsehood,
and the house of Israel with deceit.
Judah still strays from God,
and is unfaithful to the Holy One.
King James Version

The Father’s Love

[1] When Israel H3478 was a child, H5288 then I loved H157 him, and called H7121 my son H1121 out of Egypt. H4714 [2] As they called H7121 them, so they went H1980 from them: H6440 they sacrificed H2076 unto Baalim, H1168 and burned incense H6999 to graven images. H6456 [3] I taught H8637 Ephraim H669 also to go, H8637 taking H3947 them by their arms; H2220 but they knew H3045 not H3808 that I healed H7495 them. [4] I drew H4900 them with cords H2256 of a man, H120 with bands H5688 of love: H160 and I was to them as they that take off H7311§ the yoke H5923 on H5921 their jaws, H3895 and I laid H5186 meat H398 unto them. [5] He shall H7725 not H3808 return H7725 into the land H776 of Egypt, H4714 but the Assyrian H804 shall be his king, H4428 because H3588 they refused H3985 to return. H7725 [6] And the sword H2719 shall abide H2342 on his cities, H5892 and shall consume H3615 his branches, H905 and devour H398 them, because of their own counsels. H4156 [7] And my people H5971 are bent H8511 to backsliding H4878 from me: though they called H7121 them to the most High, H5920 none at all H3162 would exalt H7311 him.§ [8] How shall I give thee up, H5414 Ephraim? H669 how shall I deliver H4042 thee, Israel? H3478 how shall I make H5414 thee as Admah? H126 how shall I set H7760 thee as Zeboim? H6636 mine heart H3820 is turned H2015 within me, my repentings H5150 are kindled H3648 together. H3162 [9] I will H6213 not H3808 execute H6213 the fierceness H2740 of mine anger, H639 I will H7725 not H3808 return H7725 to destroy H7843 Ephraim: H669 for I am God, H410 and not man; H376 the Holy One H6918 in the midst H7130 of thee: and I will not enter H935 into the city. H5892 [10] They shall walk H3212 after H310 the Lord: H3068 he shall roar H7580 like a lion: H738 when he shall roar, H7580 then the children H1121 shall tremble H2729 from the west. H3220 [11] They shall tremble H2729 as a bird H6833 out of Egypt, H4714 and as a dove H3123 out of the land H776 of Assyria: H804 and I will place H3427 them in their houses, H1004 saith H5002 the Lord. H3068 [12] Ephraim H669 compasseth H5437 me about with lies, H3585 and the house H1004 of Israel H3478 with deceit: H4820 but Judah H3063 yet ruleth H7300 with God, H410 and is faithful H539 with the saints. H6918§

[1] Διότι G1360 νήπιος G3516 Ισραηλ, G2474 καὶ G2532 ἐγὼ G1473 ἠγάπησα G25 αὐτὸν G846 καὶ G2532 ἐξ G1537 Αἰγύπτου G125 μετεκάλεσα G3333 τὰ G3588 τέκνα G5043 αὐτοῦ. G846 [2] Καθὼς G2531 μετεκάλεσα G3333 αὐτούς, G846 οὕτως G3779 ἀπῴχοντο ἐκ G1537 προσώπου G4383 μου· G3450 αὐτοὶ G846 τοῖς G3588 Βααλιμ ἔθυον G2380 καὶ G2532 τοῖς G3588 γλυπτοῖς ἐθυμίων. G2370 [3] Καὶ G2532 ἐγὼ G1473 συνεπόδισα τὸν G3588 Εφραιμ, G2187 ἀνέλαβον G353 αὐτὸν G846 ἐπὶ G1909 τὸν G3588 βραχίονά G1023 μου, G3450 καὶ G2532 οὐκ G3756 ἔγνωσαν G1097 ὅτι G3754 ἴαμαι G2390 αὐτούς. G846 [4] Ἐν G1722 διαφθορᾷ G1312 ἀνθρώπων G444 ἐξέτεινα G1614 αὐτοὺς G846 ἐν G1722 δεσμοῖς G1199 ἀγαπήσεώς μου G3450 καὶ G2532 ἔσομαι G2071 αὐτοῖς G846 ὡς G5613 ῥαπίζων G4474 ἄνθρωπος G444 ἐπὶ G1909 τὰς G3588 σιαγόνας G4600 αὐτοῦ· G846 καὶ G2532 ἐπιβλέψομαι G1914 πρὸς G4314 αὐτόν, G846 δυνήσομαι G1410 αὐτῷ. G846 [5] Κατῴκησεν G2730 Εφραιμ G2187 ἐν G1722 Αἰγύπτῳ, G125 καὶ G2532 Ασσουρ αὐτὸς G846 βασιλεὺς G935 αὐτοῦ, G846 ὅτι G3754 οὐκ G3756 ἠθέλησεν G2309 ἐπιστρέψαι. G1994 [6] Καὶ G2532 ἠσθένησεν G770 ῥομφαία G4501 ἐν G1722 ταῖς G3588 πόλεσιν G4172 αὐτοῦ G846 καὶ G2532 κατέπαυσεν G2664 ἐν G1722 ταῖς G3588 χερσὶν G5495 αὐτοῦ, G846 καὶ G2532 φάγονται G5315 ἐκ G1537 τῶν G3588 διαβουλίων αὐτῶν. G846 [7] Καὶ G2532 ὁ G3588 λαὸς G2992 αὐτοῦ G846 ἐπικρεμάμενος ἐκ G1537 τῆς G3588 κατοικίας G2733 αὐτοῦ, G846 καὶ G2532 ὁ G3588 θεὸς G2316 ἐπὶ G1909 τὰ G3588 τίμια G5093 αὐτοῦ G846 θυμωθήσεται, G2373 καὶ G2532 οὐ G3756 μὴ G3361 ὑψώσῃ G5312 αὐτόν. G846 [8] Τί G5101 σε G4571 διαθῶ, G1303 Εφραιμ; G2187 Ὑπερασπιῶ σου, G4675 Ισραηλ; G2474 Τί G5101 σε G4571 διαθῶ; G1303 Ὡς G5613 Αδαμα θήσομαί G5087 σε G4571 καὶ G2532 ὡς G5613 Σεβωιμ; Μετεστράφη G3344 ἡ G3588 καρδία G2588 μου G3450 ἐν G1722 τῷ G3588 αὐτῷ, G846 συνεταράχθη ἡ G3588 μεταμέλειά μου. G3450 [9] Οὐ G3756 μὴ G3361 ποιήσω G4160 κατὰ G2596 τὴν G3588 ὀργὴν G3709 τοῦ G3588 θυμοῦ G2372 μου, G3450 οὐ G3756 μὴ G3361 ἐγκαταλίπω G1459 τοῦ G3588 ἐξαλειφθῆναι G1813 τὸν G3588 Εφραιμ· G2187 διότι G1360 θεὸς G2316 ἐγώ G1473 εἰμι G1510 καὶ G2532 οὐκ G3756 ἄνθρωπος· G444 ἐν G1722 σοὶ G4671 ἅγιος, G40 καὶ G2532 οὐκ G3756 εἰσελεύσομαι G1525 εἰς G1519 πόλιν. G4172 [10] Ὀπίσω G3694 κυρίου G2962 πορεύσομαι· G4198 ὡς G5613 λέων G3023 ἐρεύξεται, G2044 ὅτι G3754 αὐτὸς G846 ὠρύσεται, G5612 καὶ G2532 ἐκστήσονται G1839 τέκνα G5043 ὑδάτων. G5204 [11] Καὶ G2532 ἐκστήσονται G1839 ὡς G5613 ὄρνεον G3732 ἐξ G1537 Αἰγύπτου G125 καὶ G2532 ὡς G5613 περιστερὰ G4058 ἐκ G1537 γῆς G1093 Ἀσσυρίων· καὶ G2532 ἀποκαταστήσω G600 αὐτοὺς G846 εἰς G1519 τοὺς G3588 οἴκους G3624 αὐτῶν, G846 λέγει G3004 κύριος. G2962 [12] ‡Ἐκύκλωσέν G2944 με G3165 ἐν G1722 ψεύδει G5579 Εφραιμ G2187 καὶ G2532 ἐν G1722 ἀσεβείαις G763 οἶκος G3624 Ισραηλ G2474 καὶ G2532 Ιουδα. Νῦν G3568 ἔγνω G1097 αὐτοὺς G846 ὁ G3588 θεός, G2316 καὶ G2532 λαὸς G2992 ἅγιος G40 κεκλήσεται G2564 θεοῦ. G2316
