Hosea
Chapter 11
1
When Israel . . . {was} a child {na`ar},
then
I loved him . . .
and
called My son out of Egypt.
{see this prophecy come true in Matthew 2:15}
2
As they called them,
so
they went from them.
They
sacrificed unto Baalim . . .
and
'burned incense'/'committed human sacrifices' to graven images.
3
I taught Ephraim also to go,
taking
them by their arms . . .
but
they knew not that I healed them.
4
I drew them with cords of a man . . .
with
bands of love.
And
I was to them
as
they that take off the yoke on their jaws,
and
I laid meat unto them.
5
He shall not return into the land of Egypt,
but
the Assyrian shall be his king,
because
they refused to 'turn back'.
{shuwb - to turn back to God here - to rebound their sins and
worship Him and learn and apply His Word}
6
And the sword shall abide on his cities,
and
shall consume his branches,
and
devour them,
because
of their own counsels.
7 And My people are bent to backsliding from Me {reversionism}.
Though
they called them to the Most High . . .
none
at all would exalt Him.
8 How shall I give you up, Ephraim?
How shall I deliver you, Israel?
How shall I make you as Admah?
How shall I set you as Zeboim?
My
heart is turned within Me . . .
My
compassions are kindled together.
9 I will not execute the fierceness of My anger.
I will not return to destroy Ephraim.
For
I am 'Elohiym/Godhead . . . and not man . . .
the
Holy One in the Middle of you . . .
and
I will not enter into the city.
10 They shall Walk after Jehovah/God.
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, said Jehovah/God.
12
Ephraim compasses me about with lies,
and
the house of Israel with deceit.
But
Judah yet rules with 'Elohiym/Godhead,
and
is faithful with the saints.
