Husha (Hosea) — 11

YAHUAH’s Love for Yashar'AL 

1 “When Yashar'AL was a child, I loved him, and I called my son out of Mitzraym.

2 But the more I called to him, the farther he moved from me, offering sacrifices to the images of Baal and burning incense to idols.

3 I myself taught Yashar'AL how to walk,    leading him along by the hand, but he doesn’t know or even care that it was I who took care of him.

4 I led Yashar'AL along with my ropes of kindness and love, I lifted the yoke from his neck, and I myself stooped to feed him.

5 “But since my people refuse to return to me, they will return to Mitzraym and will be forced to serve Assyria.

6 War will swirl through their cities; their enemies will crash through their gates, they will destroy them, trapping them in their own evil plans.

7 For my people are determined to desert me, they call me AL'ALYUN (the Most High), but they don’t truly honor me.

8 “Oh, how can I give you up, Yashar'AL? How can I let you go? How can I destroy you like Admah or demolish you like Zabuiim? My heart is torn within me, and my compassion overflows.

9 No, I will not unleash my fierce anger, I will not completely destroy Yashar'AL, for I Am 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH and not a mere mortal, I Am the Qadash One living among you, and I will not come to destroy.

10 For someday the people will follow me, I 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH will roar like a lion, and when I roar, My people will return trembling from the west.

11 Like a flock of birds, they will come from Mitzraym, Trembling like doves, they will return from Assyria, and I will bring them home again,” says 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH.

Charges against Yashar'AL and Yahudah

12 Yashar'AL surrounds me with lies and deceit, but Yahudah still obeys  𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH and is faithful to the Qadash One.
