1	When Israel was a child, then I loved# him, and called# my son out of Egypt.
			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. [take off: Heb. lift up]
			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 . [none...: Heb. together they exalted not]
			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.
			9	I will not execute# the fierceness of mine anger, I will not return# to destroy# Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not enter# into the city.
			10	They shall walk# after the LORD: he shall roar# like a lion: when he shall roar# , then the children shall tremble# from the west.
			11	They shall tremble# as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria: and I will place# them in their houses, saith# the LORD.
			12	Ephraim compasseth# me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Judah yet ruleth# with God, and is faithful# with the saints. [saints: or, most holy]
