This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
11 “When Yisrael was a child I loved him,
and I called my son out of Egypt (Heb. Mitsrayim).[ref]
2 The more the godly people called them, the more they went away from them.
They kept sacrificing to the Baals
≈and burning incense for idols.
3 Yet it was me who taught Efraim/Yisrael to walk.
I took them by their arms, but they didn’t know that I healed them.
4 I led them with ropes of human kindness—
I was to them like someone who loosened the yoke on their jaws,
and I bent down to them and fed them.
but Assyria will become their king,
because they refused to return to me.
6 The sword will whirl against their cities,
and destroy the locking bars on their gates,
and devour them because of their own plans.
7 My people are insistent on turning away from me.
Though they call to the highest one, he won’t lift them up.
8 How can I give you up, O Efraim?
≈How can I hand you over, O Israel?
How can I make you like Adamah?
≈How can I make you like Tsevoim?
My heart is turned over within me—
≈all my compassions are aroused.[ref]
9 I won’t put my fierce anger into action.
I won’t destroy Efraim/Yisrael again,
because I’m God
and not a human,
the holy one among you,
and I won’t come in anger.
10 They’ll decide to follow Yahweh—he’ll roar like a lion.
When he roars, his children will come trembling from the west.
11 They will come trembling like a bird from Egypt—
like a dove from Assyria.
I’ll settle them in their homes
That’s what Yahweh declares.
12 Efraim has surrounded me with lies,
≈and the people of Israel with deceit,
but Yehudah still goes about with God,
≈and is faithful to the holy one.”
