1Cuando Israel era muchacho, yo lo amé, y de Egipto llamé a mi hijo.
2Cuanto más yo los llamaba, tanto más se alejaban de mí; a los baales sacrificaban, y a los ídolos ofrecían sahumerios.
3Yo con todo eso enseñaba a andar al mismo Efraín, tomándole de los brazos; y no conoció que yo le cuidaba.
4Con cuerdas humanas los atraje, con cuerdas de amor; y fui para ellos como los que alzan el yugo de sobre su cerviz, y puse delante de ellos la comida.
5No volverá a tierra de Egipto, sino que el asirio mismo será su rey, porque no se quisieron convertir.
6Caerá espada sobre sus ciudades, y consumirá sus aldeas; las consumirá a causa de sus propios consejos.
7Entre tanto, mi pueblo está adherido a la rebelión contra mí; aunque me llaman el Altísimo, ninguno absolutamente me quiere enaltecer.
8¿Cómo podré abandonarte, oh Efraín? ¿Te entregaré yo, Israel? ¿Cómo podré yo hacerte como Adma, o ponerte como a Zeboim? Mi corazón se conmueve dentro de mí, se inflama toda mi compasión.
9No ejecutaré el ardor de mi ira, ni volveré para destruir a Efraín; porque Dios soy, y no hombre, el Santo en medio de ti; y no entraré en la ciudad.
10En pos de Jehová caminarán; él rugirá como león; rugirá, y los hijos vendrán temblando desde el occidente.
11Como ave acudirán velozmente de Egipto, y de la tierra de Asiria como paloma; y los haré habitar en sus casas, dice Jehová.
12Me rodeó Efraín de mentira, y la casa de Israel de engaño. Judá aún gobierna con Dios, y es fiel con los santos.

11:1-11 God agonized over Israel’s unfaithfulness. Despite all he had done, Israel had become a rebel. Justice required severe punishment, but the final sentence for Israel would be determined by God’s tender compassion for his people, not by an abstract principle.
11:1 my son: The Lord adopted Israel when he delivered him out of Egypt. This verse is quoted in reference to Jesus in Matt 2:15 (see study note on Matt 4:1-11).

11:2 In spite of God’s love, Israel had become a rebellious child, offering sacrifices to . . . Baal. The penalty for a rebellious son was death (Deut 21:18-21).

11:5-7 Because the Israelites had refused to return to the Lord, they would return to Egypt and . . . serve Assyria. Their past bondage in Egypt was a symbol for their coming exile in Assyria.

11:8 Though justice demanded Israel’s death, the Lord recoiled at the thought of giving Israel up, of letting them go, of destroying his son. • Admah and Zeboiim were cities near Sodom and Gomorrah that God totally destroyed (Deut 29:23). • In Hebrew thought, the heart is the center of the intellect and the will.

11:9 No: The Lord alone would determine Israel’s fate. God repeated the words I will not three times, emphasizing his decision not to completely destroy his people. • The reason for the divine decision is, I am the Holy One living among you. God’s holiness distinguishes him from every created thing (see “God’s Absolute Holiness” Theme Note). An offended mortal might very well destroy a rebel out of pique and spite. The Holy One does not operate out of those motives.

11:10-11 Israel’s sin would not have the final word; God, in his holy love, would roar like a lion (see Amos 1:2; 3:8) to call his people home from exile.
