Hosea 11:2-8
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 11
2
The more they called them,
The more they went away from them;
They kept sacrificing to the Baals
And burning incense to idols.
3
Yet it is I who taught Ephraim to walk,
I took them in My arms;
But they did not know that I healed them.
4
I pulled them along with cords of a man, with ropes of love,
And I became to them as one who lifts the yoke from their jaws;
And I bent down
and
fed them.
5
They will not return to the land of Egypt;
But Assyria—he will be their king
Because they refused to return
to Me.
6
And the sword will whirl against their cities,
And will destroy their oracle priests
And consume
them,
because of their counsels.
7
So My people are determined to turn from Me.
Though they call them to
the One
on high,
None at all exalts
Him.
8
How can I give you up, Ephraim?
How
can I surrender you, Israel?
How can I make you like Admah?
How
can I treat you like Zeboiim?
My heart is turned over within Me,
All My compassions are kindled.
King James Version
Chapter 11
2
As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto Baalim, and burned incense to graven images.
3
I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them.
4
I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love: and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I laid meat unto them.
5
He shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to return.
6
And the sword shall abide on his cities, and shall consume his branches, and devour them, because of their own counsels.
7
And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt him.
8
How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? how shall I deliver thee, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? how shall I set thee as Zeboim? mine heart is turned within me, my repentings are kindled together.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 11
2
Israel called to the Egyptians
even as Israel was leaving them.
They kept sacrificing to the Baals
and burning offerings to idols.
3
It was I who taught Ephraim to walk,
taking them by the hand,
but they never knew that I healed them.
4
I led them with human cords,
with ropes of love.
To them I was like one
who eases the yoke from their jaws;
I bent down to give them food.
5
Israel will not return to the land of Egypt
and Assyria will be his king,
because they refused to repent.
6
A sword will whirl through his cities;
it will destroy and devour the bars of his gates,
because of their schemes.
7
My people are bent on turning from me.
Though they call to him on high,
he will not exalt them at all.
8
How can I give you up, Ephraim?
How can I surrender you, Israel?
How can I make you like Admah?
How can I treat you like Zeboiim?
I have had a change of heart;
my compassion is stirred!
New Living Translation
Chapter 11
2
But the more I called to him,
the farther he moved from me,
offering sacrifices to the images of Baal
and burning incense to idols.
3
I myself taught Israel how to walk,
leading him along by the hand.
But he doesn’t know or even care
that it was I who took care of him.
4
I led Israel along
with my ropes of kindness and love.
I lifted the yoke from his neck,
and I myself stooped to feed him.
5
'But since my people refuse to return to me,
they will return to Egypt
and will be forced to serve Assyria.
6
War will swirl through their cities;
their enemies will crash through their gates.
They will destroy them,
trapping them in their own evil plans.
7
For my people are determined to desert me.
They call me the Most High,
but they don’t truly honor me.
8
'Oh, how can I give you up, Israel?
How can I let you go?
How can I destroy you like Admah
or demolish you like Zeboiim?
My heart is torn within me,
and my compassion overflows.

2
The more they were called,
the more they went away;
they kept sacrificing to the Baals
and burning offerings to idols.
3
Yet it was I who taught Ephraim to walk;
I took them up by their arms,
but they did not know that I healed them.
4
I led them with cords of kindness,

5
They shall not return to the land of Egypt,
but Assyria shall be their king,
because they have refused to return to me.
6
The sword shall rage against their cities,
consume the bars of their gates,
and devour them because of their own counsels.
7
My people are bent on turning away from me,
and though they call out to the Most High,
he shall not raise them up at all.
8
How can I give you up, O Ephraim?
How can I hand you over, O Israel?
How can I make you like Admah?
How can I treat you like Zeboiim?
My heart recoils within me;
my compassion grows warm and tender.
New International Version
Chapter 11
2
But the more they were called,
the more they went away from me.
They sacrificed to the Baals
and they burned incense to images.
3
It was I who taught Ephraim to walk,
taking them by the arms;
but they did not realize
it was I who healed them.
4
I led them with cords of human kindness,
with ties of love.
To them I was like one who lifts
a little child to the cheek,
and I bent down to feed them.
5
"Will they not return to Egypt
and will not Assyria rule over them
because they refuse to repent?
6
A sword will flash in their cities;
it will devour their false prophets
and put an end to their plans.
7
My people are determined to turn from me.
Even though they call me God Most High,
I will by no means exalt them.
8
"How can I give you up, Ephraim?
How can I hand you over, Israel?
How can I treat you like Admah?
How can I make you like Zeboyim?
My heart is changed within me;
all my compassion is aroused.
New King James Version
Chapter 11
2
As
they called them,
So they went from them;
They sacrificed to the Baals,
And burned incense to carved images.
3
“I taught Ephraim to walk,
Taking them by their arms;
But they did not know that I healed them.
4
I drew them with gentle cords,
With bands of love,
And I was to them as those who take the yoke from their neck.
I stooped
and
fed them.
5
“He shall not return to the land of Egypt;
But the Assyrian shall be his king,
Because they refused to repent.
6
And the sword shall slash in his cities,
Devour his districts,
And consume
them,
Because of their own counsels.
7
My people are bent on backsliding from Me.
Though they call to the Most High,
None at all exalt
Him.
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 set you like Zeboiim?
My heart churns within Me;
My sympathy is stirred.
