Hosea 11:10-12
Contemporary English Version
10 I, the Lord, will roar like a lion,
and my children will return,
trembling from the west.
11 They will come back,
fluttering like birds from Egypt
or like doves from Assyria.
Then I will bring them
back to their homes.
I, the Lord, have spoken!

their loyal and holy God;
they surround me with lies,
and Judah worships
other gods.[a]
