11:2 - [In Context |Original Hebrew ]The more they F102 R336 called them, The more they went from them; F102 They kept sacrificing R337 to the Baals And burning R338 incense to idols.
11:3 - [In Context |Original Hebrew ]Yet it is I who taught Ephraim to walk, I F103 took R339 them in My arms; But they did not know that I healed R340 them.
11:4 - [In Context |Original Hebrew ]I led R341 them with cords of a man, with bonds of love, And I R342 became to them as one who lifts the yoke from their jaws; And I bent down {and} fed R343 them.
11:5 - [In Context |Original Hebrew ]They F104 will not return to the land of Egypt; But Assyria--he will be their F105 king Because they refused R344 to return {to Me.}
11:6 - [In Context |Original Hebrew ]The sword R345 will whirl against their F106 cities, And will demolish their F106 gate bars And consume R346 {them} because of their counsels. R347
11:7 - [In Context |Original Hebrew ]So My people are bent on turning R348 from Me. Though they F107 call them F108 to {the One} on high, None at all exalts {Him.}
11:8 - [In Context |Original Hebrew ]How R349 can I give you up, O Ephraim? How can I surrender you, O Israel? How can I make F109 you like Admah? R350 How can I treat you like Zeboiim? R351 My heart is turned over within Me, All F110 My compassions are kindled.
11:9 - [In Context |Original Hebrew ]I will not R352 execute My fierce anger; I will not destroy Ephraim again. R353 For I R354 am God and not man, the Holy R355 One in your midst, And I will not come in wrath. F111
