| 1 When Israel was a youth I loved him, And out of Egypt I called My son. | 1 When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt. | 1 "When Israel was a child, I loved him, and I called my son out of Egypt. | 1 "When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt. | 1 When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son. | 2 The more they called them, The more they went from them; They kept sacrificing to the Baals And burning incense to idols. | 2 As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto Baalim, and burned incense to graven images. | 2 The more I called them, the farther they went away. They sacrificed to other gods-the Baals, and they burned incense to idols. | 2 They called to them, so they went from them. They sacrificed to the Baals, and burned incense to engraved images. | 2 As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto the Baals, and burned incense to graven images. | 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. | 3 I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them. | 3 I was the one who taught the people of Ephraim to walk. I took them by the hand. But they didn't realize that I had healed them. | 3 Yet I taught Ephraim to walk. I took them by his arms; but they didn't know that I healed them. | 3 And I it was that taught Ephraim to walk, He took them upon his arms, but they knew not that I healed them. | 4 I led them with cords of a man, with bonds of love, And I became to them as one who lifts the yoke from their jaws; And I bent down and fed 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. | 4 I led them with cords of human kindness, with ropes of love. I removed the yokes from their necks. I bent down and fed them. | 4 I drew them with cords of a man, with ties of love; and I was to them like those who lift up the yoke on their necks; and I bent down to him and I fed him. | 4 I drew them with bands of a man, with cords of love; and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I gently caused them to eat. | 5 They will not return to the land of Egypt; But Assyria-- he will be their king Because they refused to return to Me. | 5 He shall not return into the land of Egypt, and the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to return. | 5 "They will not return to Egypt. Instead, Assyria will rule them because they have refused to return to me. | 5 "They won't return into the land of Egypt; but the Assyrian will be their king, because they refused to repent. | 5 He shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be his king; for they refused to return to me; | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 6 The sword will whirl against their cities, And will demolish their gate bars And consume them because of their counsels. | 6 And the sword shall abide on his cities, and shall consume his branches, and devour them, because of their own counsels. | 6 War will sweep through their cities, demolish their city gates, and put an end to their plans. | 6 The sword will fall on their cities, and will destroy the bars of their gates, and will put an end to their plans. | 6 and the sword shall turn about in his cities, and shall consume his bars, and devour them, because of their own counsels. | 7 So My people are bent on turning from Me. Though they call them to the One on high, None at all exalts Him. | 7 And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt him. | 7 My people are determined to turn away from me. Even if they call to the Most High, he will not pardon them. | 7 My people are determined to turn from me. Though they call to the Most High, he certainly won't exalt them. | 7 Yea, my people are bent upon backsliding from me: though they call them to the Most High, none at all exalteth him. | 8 How can I give you up, O Ephraim? How can I surrender you, O 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. | 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. | 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 treat you like Zeboim? I have changed my mind. I am deeply moved. | 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 make you like Zeboiim? My heart is turned within me, my compassion is aroused. | 8 How shall I give thee over, Ephraim? how shall I deliver thee up, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? how shall I set thee as Zeboim? My heart is turned within me, my repentings are kindled together. | 9 I will not execute My fierce anger; I will not destroy Ephraim again. For I am God and not man, the Holy One in your midst, And I will not come in wrath. | 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. | 9 I will not act on my burning anger. I will not destroy Ephraim again. I am God, not a human. I am the Holy One among you, and I will not come to you in anger. | 9 I will not execute the fierceness of my anger. I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of you; and I will not come in wrath. | 9 I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not again destroy Ephraim; for I am �God, and not man, the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not come in anger. | 10 They will walk after the LORD, He will roar like a lion; Indeed He will roar And His sons will come trembling from the west. | 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. | 10 "My people will follow me when I roar like a lion. When I roar, my children will come trembling from the west. | 10 They will walk after Yahweh, who will roar like a lion; for he will roar, and the children will come trembling from the west. | 10 They shall walk after Jehovah; he shall roar like a lion; when he shall roar, then the children shall hasten from the west: | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 11 They will come trembling like birds from Egypt And like doves from the land of Assyria; And I will settle them in their houses, declares the LORD. | 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. | 11 They will come trembling like birds from Egypt and like doves from Assyria. I will settle them in their own homes," declares the LORD. | 11 They will come trembling like a bird out of Egypt, and like a dove out of the land of Assyria; and I will settle them in their houses," says Yahweh. | 11 they shall hasten as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria; and I will cause them to dwell in their houses, saith Jehovah. | 12 Ephraim surrounds Me with lies And the house of Israel with deceit; Judah is also unruly against God, Even against the Holy One who is faithful. | 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. | 12 "Ephraim surrounds me with lies. The nation of Israel surrounds me with deceit." Judah rebels against God, against the Holy One who is faithful. | 12 Ephraim surrounds me with falsehood, and the house of Israel with deceit. Judah still strays from God, and is unfaithful to the Holy One. | 12 Ephraim encompasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit; but Judah yet walketh with �God, and with the holy things of truth. |
