¶ The .xj. Chapter.
¶ Agaynst the vnkyndnesse of Israell.
A When Israell was younge, I loued
him: &rhand; note ∧ called my sonne oute of
the l&abar;de of Egypt. But þe; more they
were called, þe; more they w&ebar;t backe,
note offringe vnto Idols of Baal, ∧ censynge
Images. &club; &rhand; I lerned Ephraim to go, ∧
bare them in myne armes, but they regarded
not me, þt; wolde haue helped them. I led th&ebar;
with coardes of frendshyppe, and with bandes
of loue. I was euen he, þt; layed the yocke
vp&obar; their neckes. noteI gaue their foder my self
that they shulde not go agayne into Egypt.
And nowe is Assur theyr kynge. For they
wolde not turne vnto me. Therfore shall the
swearde begynne in their cyties, the stoare þt;
they haue layed vp, shalbe destroyed and eaten:
and þt; because of their awne ymaginacyons.
And my people shall stonde in a doubte
whether to torne them,
B for when the prophetes
called them to the most hiest, not one yet
wolde gyue him his glory.
What greate thynges haue I geuen the,
O Ephraim? howe faythfully haue I defended
the, O Israel? haue I dealt with the as
with note Adama? or haue I intreated þe; lyke
Seboim? No, my hert is other wise mynded.
Yee, my mercy is to feruent: therfore haue I
not turned me to destroye Ephraim in my
wrothfull displeasure. For I am God and no
man, I am euen that holy one in the middest
of the, though I came not within the cytie.
C The Lorde roareth lyke a lyon, that they
maye folowe hym: yee, note as a lyon roareth
he, þt; they maye be afrayed lyke the chyldren
of the see: þt; they maye be scatred awaye from
Egypt, as m&ebar; scarre byrdes: ∧ frayed awaye
(as doues vse to be) fr&obar; the Assyrians lande:
and that because I wolde haue them tary at
home, sayeth þe; Lorde. But Ephraim goeth
aboute me with lyes, and þe; house of Israell
dissembleth. Only Iuda holdeth hym with
God, and with the true holy thynges.
