God’s Love for Israel

11“When Israel was a child,u I lovedv him,

and out of Egypt I called my son.w

2But the more they were called,

the more they went away from me.ax

They sacrificed to the Baalsy

and they burned incense to images.z

3It was I who taught Ephraim to walk,

taking them by the arms;a

but they did not realize

it was I who healedb them.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

When Israel was a child, I loved him,

and out of Egypt I called my son.

The more they were called,

the more they went away;

they kept sacrificing to the Baals

and burning offerings to idols.

Yet it was I who taught Ephraim to walk;

I took them up by their arms,

but they did not know that I healed them.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

When Israel was a child, I loved him,

and out of Egypt I called my son.

Israel called to the Egyptians

even as Israel was leaving them.

They kept sacrificing to the Baals

and burning offerings to idols.

It was I who taught Ephraim to walk,

taking them by the hand,

but they never knew that I healed them.

NLTNew Living Translation

“When Israel was a child, I loved him,

and I called my son out of Egypt.

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.

I myself taught Israel how to walk,

leading him along by the hand.

But he doesn’t know or even care

that it was I who took care of him.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

When Israel was a child, I loved him,

and out of Egypt I called my son.

When I called them, they went from my face.

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

And I myself taught Ephraim to walk;

I took them in my arms,

but they did not know that I healed them.

KJV 1900King James Version

When Israel was a child, then I loved him,

And called my son out of Egypt.

As they called them, so they went from them:

They sacrificed unto Baalim, and burned incense to graven images.

I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms;

But they knew not that I healed them.
