Hosea 11:5 - John Wesley's Notes

Hosea 11:5

3 “I^a taught Ephraim to walk,
Taking them by¹ their arms;
But they did not know that ^bI healed them.

4 I drew them with¹ gentle cords,
With bands of love,
And ^aI was to them as those who take the yoke from their¹ neck.
^bI stooped and fed them.

5 “He shall not return to the land of Egypt;
But the Assyrian shall be his king,
Because they refused to repent.

6 And the sword shall slash in his cities,
Devour his districts,
And consume them,
Because of their own counsels.

7 My people are bent on ^abacksliding from Me.
Though¹ they call to the Most High,
None at all exalt Him.

8 “How^a can I give you up, Ephraim?
How can I hand you over, Israel?
How can I make you like ^bAdmah?
How can I set you like Zeboiim?
My heart¹ churns within Me;
My sympathy is stirred.

9 I will not execute the fierceness of My anger;
I will not again destroy Ephraim.
^aFor I am God, and not man,
The Holy One in your midst;
And I will not¹ come with terror.
