Hosea 11:1–2

1 “When Israel was a child, I loved him,

and out of Egypt I called my son.

2 But the more they were called,

the more they went away from me.

They sacrificed to the Baals

and they burned incense to images.

1 When Israel was a child, I loved him,

and out of Egypt I called my son.

2 The more they were called,

the more they went away;

they kept sacrificing to the Baals

and burning offerings to idols.

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.

1 “When Israel was a child, I loved him,

and I called my son out of Egypt.

2 But the more I called to him,

the farther he moved from me,

offering sacrifices to the images of Baal

and burning incense to idols.

1 “When Israel was a child, I loved him,

And out of Egypt I called My son.

2 As they called them,

So they went from them;

They sacrificed to the Baals,

And burned incense to carved images.

1 “When Israel was a child, I loved him,

and I called my son out of Egypt.

2 But when I called the people of Israel,

they went away from me.

They offered sacrifices to the Baals

and burned incense to the idols.

1 When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt. 2 The more the prophets called them, the more they went from them: they sacrificed unto the Baalim, and burned incense to graven images.

1 When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son. 2 As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto the Baals, and burned incense to graven images.

1 “When Israel was a child, I loved him, 

and I called my son out of Egypt. 

2 The more I called them,the farther they went away. 

They sacrificed to other gods—the Baals, 

and they burned incense to idols. 

1 When Israel was a child, I loved him,

and out of Egypt I called My son.

2 The more they called them,

the more they departed from Me.

They kept sacrificing to the Baals

and burning offerings to idols.

1 When Israel was a child, I loved him,

and out of Egypt I called my son.

2 The more I called them,

the more they went from me;

they kept sacrificing to the Baals

and offering incense to idols.

1 When Israel was a child, I loved him,

and out of Egypt I called my son.

2 When I called them, they went from my face.

They sacrificed to the Baals, and they sacrificed to idols.

1 When Israel was a youth 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.
