Hosea 11:10–12:1

10 They will follow the Lord;am

he will roar like a lion.an

When he roars,

his children will come trembling from the west.ao

11 They will be roused like birds from Egypt

and like dovesap from the land of Assyria.aq

Then I will settle them in their homes.ar

This is the Lord’s declaration.

12 Ephraim surrounds me with lies,as

the house of Israel, with deceit.

Judah still wanders with God

and is faithful to the holy ones.F

GOD’S CASE AGAINST JACOB’S HEIRS

12 Ephraim chasesG the windat

and pursues the east wind.au

He continually multiplies lies and violence.

He makes a covenant with Assyria,av

and olive oil is carried to Egypt.aw
