Verse
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
BSB
Berean Standard Bible
Because
Israel `is'
a youth
, and
I love
him, Out of Egypt I have
called for
My Son.
When
Israel was
a child
, I loved
him, and
out of Egypt I called My son.
They
have
called to
them
rightly
, They have
gone
from before
them,
To
lords
they do
sacrifice,
And to graven
images they
make
perfume
.
But
the
more
I
called Israel
, the
farther
they departed
from Me.
They sacrificed
to
the
Baals
and burned
incense
to carved
images.
And
I have
caused
Ephraim to go
on
foot
, Taking them by
their
arms, And
they have
not
known
that I strengthened
them.
It
was
I who
taught
Ephraim to walk
, taking them in
My
arms, but
they never
realized
that it
was
I who
healed
them.
With cords of man
I
do
draw
them
, With thick
cords
of love ,
And
I am
to
them
as
a
raiser
up
of
a
yoke on
their jaws,
And I
incline
unto
him
--
I
feed `him'
.
I
led
them
with cords of kindness
, with ropes
of love ;
I lifted
the
yoke from
their necks
and bent
down
to
feed them
.
He
turneth
not back
unto
the land of Egypt ,
And Asshur
--
he
`is'
his
king,
For
they have
refused to return.
Will
they
not return
to
the land of Egypt and be
ruled
by
Assyria
because
they refused to repent?
Grievous
hath
been
the
sword in
his
cities ,
And
it hath
ended
his
bars ,
and consumed
--
from
their own counsels
.
A
sword will
flash
through
their
cities ;
it will
destroy
the
bars of
their
gates
and consume
them
in
their own plans
.
And
My people are hanging
in
suspense,
about
My
returning,
And
unto
the Most High they
do
call
, Together
they
exalt not
.
My people are bent
on
turning
from
Me.
Though
they
call
to
the Most High, He
will
by
no
means
exalt them
.
How do
I give thee
up, O Ephraim? Do
I deliver
thee
up
, O Israel? How do
I make thee
as
Admah? Do
I set
thee
as
Zeboim
? Turned
in
Me
is
My heart ,
kindled
together
have
been
My repentings.
How could
I give you
up, O Ephraim? How
could
I surrender
you
, O Israel? How could
I make you
like
Admah? How
could
I treat
you
like
Zeboiim
? My heart is
turned
within
Me;
My compassion
is
stirred!
I do
not the fierceness
of My anger ,
I turn
not back to destroy Ephraim ,
For God
I `
am ',
and not a
man .
In
thy
midst
the Holy One ,
and I enter
not in enmity,
I will
not execute
the full
fury
of My anger ;
I will
not turn
back to destroy Ephraim .
For I am God
and not man —
the Holy One among
you—
and I will
not come
in wrath.
After
Jehovah
they go
--
as
a lion He
roareth,
When He doth
roar
, then
tremble
do
the
sons
from the west.
They will
walk
after
the
LORD;
He
will
roar
like
a lion .
When He roars
, His
children
will
come
trembling
from the west.
They tremble
as
a
sparrow
out
of
Egypt ,
And as
a
dove
out
of
the land of Asshur,
And
I have
caused
them to
dwell
in their own
houses
, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
.
They will
come
trembling
like
birds
from
Egypt and like
doves
from
the land of Assyria.
Then
I will
settle
them in their homes
, declares
the
LORD
.
Compassed
Me with feigning
hath
Ephraim
, And
with
deceit
the house of Israel .
And
Judah again
is
ruling
with God ,
And with
the
Holy
Ones
`
is '
faithful !
Ephraim
surrounds
Me with lies
, the house of Israel with
deceit;
but
Judah still
walks
with God and is faithful to
the
Holy
One.
