Hosea 11:10–12

10 They will follow the Lord;

he will roar like a lion.

When he roars,

his children will come trembling from the west.

11 They will come from Egypt,

trembling like sparrows,

from Assyria, fluttering like doves.

I will settle them in their homes,”

declares the Lord.

12 Ephraim has surrounded me with lies,

Israel with deceit.

And Judah is unruly against God,

even against the faithful Holy One.

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.

10 For someday the people will follow me.

I, the Lord, will roar like a lion.

And when I roar,

my people will return trembling from the west.

11 Like a flock of birds, they will come from Egypt.

Trembling like doves, they will return from Assyria.

And I will bring them home again,”

says the Lord.

12  Israel surrounds me with lies and deceit,

but Judah still obeys God

and is faithful to the Holy One.

10 “They shall walk after the Lord.

He will roar like a lion.

When He roars,

Then His sons shall come trembling from the west;

11 They shall come trembling like a bird from Egypt,

Like a dove from the land of Assyria.

And I will let them dwell in their houses,”

Says the Lord.

12 “Ephraim has encircled Me with lies,

And the house of Israel with deceit;

But Judah still walks with God,

Even with the Holy One who is faithful.

10 They will go after the Lord,

and he will roar like a lion.

When he roars,

his children will hurry to him from the west.

11 They will come swiftly

like birds from Egypt

and like doves from Assyria.

I will settle them again in their homes,”

says the Lord.

12 Israel has surrounded me with lies;

the people have made evil plans.

And Judah turns against God,

the faithful Holy One.

10 They shall walk after Jehovah, who will roar like a lion; for he will roar, and the children shall come trembling from the west. 11 They shall come trembling as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria; and I will make them to dwell in their houses, saith Jehovah.

12 Ephraim compasseth me about with falsehood, and the house of Israel with deceit; but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the Holy One.

10 They shall walk after Jehovah; he shall roar like a lion; when he shall roar, then the children shall hasten from the west: 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 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.

10 “My people will follow me when I roar like a lion. 

When I roar, my children will come trembling from the west. 

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.

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. 

10 They will follow the Lord;

He will roar like a lion.

When He roars,

His children will come trembling from the west.

11 They will be roused like birds from Egypt

and like doves from the land of Assyria.

Then I will settle them in their homes.

This is the Lord’s declaration.

12  Ephraim surrounds me with lies,

the house of Israel, with deceit.

Judah still wanders with God

and is faithful to the holy ones.

10 They shall go after the Lord,

who roars like a lion;

when he roars,

his children shall come trembling from the west.

11 They shall come trembling like birds from Egypt

and like doves from the land of Assyria,

and I will return them to their homes, says the Lord.

12 Ephraim has surrounded me with lies

and the house of Israel with deceit,

but Judah still walks with God

and is faithful to the Holy One.

10 They will go after Yahweh;

he roars like a lion.

When he roars,

his children will come trembling

from the sea.

11 They will tremble like birds from Egypt,

and like doves from the land of Assyria;

and I will let them return to their homes—

a declaration of Yahweh.

12  Ephraim has surrounded me with lies,

and the house of Israel with deceit;

and Judah is still wandering with God

and is faithful to the Holy One.

10 I will roar like a lion against my enemies.

You will follow me.

When I roar, my children will come home trembling with fear.

You will return from the west.

11 You will come trembling like birds from Egypt.

You will return like doves from Assyria.

I will settle you again in your homes,”

announces the Lord.

12 The people of Ephraim tell nothing but lies.

Israel has not been honest with me.

And Judah continues to wander away from God.

They have deserted the faithful Holy One.

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.

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.

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.
