JUDAH YET RULETH WITH GOD AND IS FAITHFUL WITH THE SAINTS

HOSEA 11

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. 

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. 

HE SHALL NOT RETURN 

INTO THE LAND OF EGYPT, 

AND 

THE ASSYRIAN SHALL BE HIS KING,

BECAUSE THEY REFUSED TO RETURN.
AND THE SWORD SHALL 

ABIDE ON HIS CITIES, 

AND SHALL CONSUME HIS BRANCHES, 

AND DEVOUR THEM, 

BECAUSE OF THEIR OWN COUNSELS.

AND MY PEOPLE ARE BENT 

TO BACKSLIDING FROM ME: 

THOUGH THEY CALLED THEM 

TO THE MOST HIGH, 

NONE AT ALL WOULD EXALT HIM. 

HOW SHALL I GIVE THEE UP, 

EPHRAIM? 

HOW SHALL I 

DELIVER THEE, ISRAEL? 

HOW SHALL I MAKE THEE AS ADMAH? 

HOW SHALL I SET THEE 

AS ZEBOIM? 

MINE HEART IS TURNED WITHIN ME, 

MY REPENTINGS ARE KINDLED TOGETHER. 

I WILL NOT EXECUTE 

THE FIERCENESS OF MINE ANGER, 

I WILL NOT RETURN 

TO DESTROY EPHRAIM: 

FOR I AM GOD, AND NOT MAN; 

THE HOLY ONE IN 

THE MIDST OF THEE: 

AND I WILL NOT ENTER 

INTO THE CITY. 

THEY SHALL WALK AFTER 

THE LORD: HE SHALL 

ROAR LIKE A LION: 

WHEN HE SHALL ROAR, 

THEN THE CHILDREN 

SHALL TREMBLE FROM 

THE WEST. 

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, 

SAITH THE LORD. 

EPHRAIM COMPASSETH 

ME ABOUT 

WITH LIES, 

AND 

THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL WITH DECEIT: 

BUT 

JUDAH YET RULETH WITH GOD, 

AND IS FAITHFUL WITH THE SAINTS.

 

LOVE
