11 When Israel was a child, I loved him,p
and out of Egypt I called my son.q
2 Israel called to the Egyptiansr
even as Israel was leaving them.D
They kept sacrificing to the Baalss
and burning offerings to idols.t
3 It was I who taught Ephraim to walk,u
but they never knew that I healed them.w
4 I led them with human cords,
with ropes of love.x
To them I was like one
who eases the yoke from their jaws;y
I bent down to give them food.z
5 Israel will not return to the land of Egypt
and Assyria will be his king,aa
because they refused to repent.ab
6 A sword will whirl through his cities;ac
it will destroy and devour the bars of his gates,G,ad
because of their schemes.ae
7 My people are bent on turning from me.af
Though they call to him on high,
he will not exalt them at all.
8 How can I give you up, Ephraim?ag
How can I surrender you, Israel?
How can I make you like Admah?ah
How can I treat you like Zeboiim?ai
I have had a change of heart;
my compassion is stirred!
9 I will not vent the full fury of my anger;aj
I will not turn back to destroy Ephraim.ak
For I am God and not man,
the Holy One among you;al
I will not come in rage.H
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.I

About Christian Standard BibleThe Christian Standard Bible (CSB) is a highly trustworthy, faithful translation that is proven to be the optimal blend of accuracy and readability. It’s as literal to the original as possible without sacrificing clarity. The CSB is poised to become the translation that pastors rely on and Bible readers turn to again and again to read and to share with others. The CSB is an original translation: more than 100 scholars from 17 denominations translated directly from the best available Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic source texts into English. Its source texts are the standard used by scholars and seminaries today. The CSB is trustworthy: the conservative, evangelical scholars of the CSB affirm the authority of Scripture as the inerrant Word of God and seek the highest level of faithfulness to the original and accuracy in their translation. These scholars and LifeWay, the non-profit ministry that stewards the CSB, also champion the Bible against cultural trends that would compromise its truths. The CSB is clear: it is as literal a translation of the ancient source texts as possible, but, in the many places throughout Scripture where a word-for-word rendering might obscure the meaning for a modern audience, it uses a more dynamic translation. In all cases, the intent is to convey the original meaning of God’s Word as faithfully and as clearly as possible. |
