God’s love for his disobedient people

11:1 God’s love for his disobedient people

11“When Yisrael was a child I loved him,

and I called my son out of Egypt (Heb. Mitsrayim).[ref]

2The more the godly people called them, the more they went away from them.

They kept sacrificing to the Baals

and burning incense for idols.

3Yet it was me who taught Efraim/Yisrael to walk.

I took them by their arms, but they didn’t know that I healed them.

4I led them with ropes of human kindness—

with iron bands of love.

I was to them like someone who loosened the yoke on their jaws,

and I bent down to them and fed them.


5They won’t return to Egypt,

but Assyria will become their king,

because they refused to return to me.

6The sword will whirl against their cities,

and destroy the locking bars on their gates,

and devour them because of their own plans.

7My people are insistent on turning away from me.

Though they call to the highest one, he won’t lift them up.


8How 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]

9I 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.


10They’ll decide to follow Yahweh—he’ll roar like a lion.

When he roars, his children will come trembling from the west.

11They 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.


11:1: Exo 4:22; Mat 2:15.

11:8: Deu 29:23.
