1. As the morning passeth, so hath the king of Israel passed away because Israel was a child, and I loved him: and I called my son out of Egypt.
2. As they called them, they went away from before their face: they offered victims to Baalim, and sacrificed to idols.
3. And I was like a foster father to Ephraim, I carried them in my arms: and they knew not that I healed them.
