Oséias 11

1 "When Israel was a child, then I loved him,

6 The sword will fall on their cities,

7 My people are determined to turn from me.

8 "How can I give you up, Ephraim?

9 I will not execute the fierceness of my anger.

10 They will walk after Yahweh,

11 They will come trembling like a bird out of Egypt,

12 Ephraim surrounds me with falsehood,
