When IsraelH3478 was a childH5288, then I lovedH157 him, and calledH7121 my sonH1121 out of EgyptH4714.
As they calledH7121 them, so they wentH1980 from themH6440: they sacrificedH2076 unto BaalimH1168, and burned incenseH6999 to graven imagesH6456.
I taughtH8637 EphraimH669 also to goH8637, takingH3947 them by their armsH2220; but they knewH3045 not that I healedH7495 them.
I drewH4900 them with cordsH2256 of a manH120, with bandsH5688 of loveH160: and I was to them as they that take offH7311 the yokeH5923 on their jawsH3895, and I laidH5186 meatH398 unto them. {take off: Heb. lift up}
He shall not returnH7725 into the landH776 of EgyptH4714, but the AssyrianH804 shall be his kingH4428, because they refusedH3985 to returnH7725.
And the swordH2719 shall abideH2342 on his citiesH5892, and shall consumeH3615 his branchesH905, and devourH398 them, because of their own counselsH4156.
And my peopleH5971 are bentH8511 to backslidingH4878 from me: though they calledH7121 them to the most HighH5920, none at allH3162 would exaltH7311 him. {none…: Heb. together they exalted not}
How shall I give thee upH5414, EphraimH669? how shall I deliverH4042 thee, IsraelH3478? how shall I makeH5414 thee as AdmahH126? how shall I setH7760 thee as ZeboimH6636? mine heartH3820 is turnedH2015 within me, my repentingsH5150 are kindledH3648 togetherH3162.
I will not executeH6213 the fiercenessH2740 of mine angerH639, I will not returnH7725 to destroyH7843 EphraimH669: for I am GodH410, and not manH376; the Holy OneH6918 in the midstH7130 of thee: and I will not enterH935 into the cityH5892.
They shall walkH3212 afterH310 the LORDH3068: he shall roarH7580 like a lionH738: when he shall roarH7580, then the childrenH1121 shall trembleH2729 from the westH3220.
They shall trembleH2729 as a birdH6833 out of EgyptH4714, and as a doveH3123 out of the landH776 of AssyriaH804: and I will placeH3427 them in their housesH1004, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
EphraimH669 compassethH5437 me about with liesH3585, and the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 with deceitH4820: but JudahH3063 yet rulethH7300 with GodH410, and is faithfulH539 with the saintsH6918. {saints: or, most holy}

For IsraelH3478 slideth backH5637 as a backslidingH5637 heiferH6510: now the LORDH3068 will feedH7462 them as a lambH3532 in a large placeH4800.
As they calledH7121 them, so they wentH1980 from themH6440: they sacrificedH2076 unto BaalimH1168, and burned incenseH6999 to graven imagesH6456.
I will healH7495 their backslidingH4878, I will loveH157 them freelyH5071: for mine angerH639 is turned awayH7725 from him.
They returnH7725, but not to the most HighH5920: they are like a deceitfulH7423 bowH7198: their princesH8269 shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719 for the rageH2195 of their tongueH3956: thisH2097 shall be their derisionH3933 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
But turned backH5472, and dealt unfaithfullyH898 like their fathersH1: they were turned asideH2015 like a deceitfulH7423 bowH7198.
And HezekiahH3169 sentH7971 to all IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063, and wroteH3789 lettersH107 also to EphraimH669 and ManassehH4519, that they should comeH935 to the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 at JerusalemH3389, to keepH6213 the passoverH6453 unto the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
For the kingH4428 had taken counselH3289, and his princesH8269, and all the congregationH6951 in JerusalemH3389, to keepH6213 the passoverH6453 in the secondH8145 monthH2320.
For they couldH3201 not keepH6213 it at that timeH6256, because the priestsH3548 had not sanctifiedH6942 themselves sufficientlyH4078+H1767, neither had the peopleH5971 gathered themselves togetherH622 to JerusalemH3389.
And the thingH1697 pleasedH3474+H5869 the kingH4428 and all the congregationH6951. {pleased…: Heb. was right in the eyes of the king}
So they establishedH5975 a decreeH1697 to make proclamationH5674+H6963 throughout all IsraelH3478, from BeershebaH884 even to DanH1835, that they should comeH935 to keepH6213 the passoverH6453 unto the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 at JerusalemH3389: for they had not doneH6213 it of a longH7230 time in such sort as it was writtenH3789.
So the postsH7323 wentH3212 with the lettersH107 fromH3027 the kingH4428 and his princesH8269 throughout all IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063, and according to the commandmentH4687 of the kingH4428, sayingH559, Ye childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, turn againH7725 unto the LORDH3068 GodH430 of AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and IsraelH3478, and he will returnH7725 to the remnantH7604 of you, that are escapedH6413 out of the handH3709 of the kingsH4428 of AssyriaH804. {from: Heb. from the hand}
And be not ye like your fathersH1, and like your brethrenH251, which trespassedH4603 against the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1, who therefore gave them upH5414 to desolationH8047, as ye seeH7200.
Now be ye not stiffneckedH7185+H6203, as your fathersH1 were, but yieldH5414 yourselvesH3027 unto the LORDH3068, and enterH935 into his sanctuaryH4720, which he hath sanctifiedH6942 for everH5769: and serveH5647 the LORDH3068 your GodH430, that the fiercenessH2740 of his wrathH639 may turn awayH7725 from you. {be ye…: Heb. harden not your necks} {yield…: Heb. give the hand}
For if ye turn againH7725 unto the LORDH3068, your brethrenH251 and your childrenH1121 shall find compassionH7356 beforeH6440 them that lead them captiveH7617, so that they shall come againH7725 into this landH776: for the LORDH3068 your GodH430 is graciousH2587 and mercifulH7349, and will not turn awayH5493 his faceH6440 from you, if ye returnH7725 unto him.
So the postsH7323 passedH5674 from cityH5892 to cityH5892 through the countryH776 of EphraimH669 and ManassehH4519 even unto ZebulunH2074: but they laughed them to scornH7832, and mockedH3932 them.
Nevertheless diversH582 of AsherH836 and ManassehH4519 and of ZebulunH2074 humbledH3665 themselves, and cameH935 to JerusalemH3389.
For they provoked him to angerH3707 with their high placesH1116, and moved him to jealousyH7065 with their graven imagesH6456.
The backsliderH5472 in heartH3820 shall be filledH7646 with his own waysH1870: and a goodH2896 manH376 shall be satisfied from himself.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, SeekH1875 ye me, and ye shall liveH2421:
But seekH1875 not BethelH1008, nor enterH935 into GilgalH1537, and passH5674 not to BeershebaH884: for GilgalH1537 shall surelyH1540 go into captivityH1540, and BethelH1008 shall come to noughtH205.
SeekH1875 the LORDH3068, and ye shall liveH2421; lest he break outH6743 like fireH784 in the houseH1004 of JosephH3130, and devourH398 it, and there be none to quenchH3518 it in BethelH1008.
The LORDH3068 saidH559 also unto me in the daysH3117 of JosiahH2977 the kingH4428, Hast thou seenH7200 that which backslidingH4878 IsraelH3478 hath doneH6213? she is gone upH1980 upon every highH1364 mountainH2022 and underH8478 every greenH7488 treeH6086, and there hath played the harlotH2181.
SeekH1875 goodH2896, and not evilH7451, that ye may liveH2421: and so the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of hostsH6635, shall be with you, as ye have spokenH559.
And I sawH7200, when for all the causesH182 whereby backslidingH4878 IsraelH3478 committed adulteryH5003 I had put her awayH7971, and givenH5414 her a billH5612 of divorceH3748; yet her treacherousH898 sisterH269 JudahH3063 fearedH3372 not, but wentH3212 and played the harlotH2181 also.
HateH8130 the evilH7451, and loveH157 the goodH2896, and establishH3322 judgmentH4941 in the gateH8179: it may be that the LORDH3068 GodH430 of hostsH6635 will be graciousH2603 unto the remnantH7611 of JosephH3130.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, The backslidingH4878 IsraelH3478 hath justifiedH6663 herselfH5315 more than treacherousH898 JudahH3063.
