Wycliffe - Hosea - 11

11:1  As the morewtid passith, the king of Israel schal passe forth. For Israel was a child, and Y louyde hym; and fro Egipt Y clepide my sone.

11:2  Thei clepiden hem, so thei yeden awei fro the face of hem. Thei offriden to Baalym, and maden sacrifice to symylacris.

11:3  And Y as a nursche of Effraym bare hem in myn armes, and thei wisten not, that Y kepte hem.

11:4  Y schal drawe hem in the ropis of Adam, in the boondis of charite. And Y schal be to hem as he that enhaunsith the yok on the chekis of hem; and Y bowide doun to hym, that he schulde ete.

11:5  He schal not turne ayen in to the lond of Egipt. And Assur, he schal be kyng of hym, for thei nolden turne.

11:6  A swerd bigan in the citees therof, and it schal waaste the chosun men therof, and schal eete the heedis of hem.

11:7  And my puple schal hange, at my comynge ayen. But a yok schal be put to hem togidere, that schal not be takun awei.

11:8  Hou schal Y yyue thee, Effraym? schal Y defende thee, Israel? hou schal Y yyue thee? As Adama Y schal sette thee; as Seboym. Myn herte is turned in me; my repentaunce is disturblid togidere.

11:9  Y schal not do the strong veniaunce of my wraththe. Y schal not turne, to leese Effraym; for Y am God, and not man. Y am hooli in the myddis of thee, and Y schal not entre in to a citee.

11:10  Thei schulen go after the Lord. He shal rore as a lioun, for he shal rore, and the sones of the see schulen drede.

11:11  And thei schulen fle awei as a brid fro Egipt, and as a culuer fro the lond of Assiriens. And Y schal sette hem in her housis, seith the Lord.

11:12  Effraym cumpasside me in denying, the hous of Israel in gile. But Judas a witnesse yede doun with God, and with feithful seyntis.
