Hosea 11:10-12

International Children’s Bible

¹⁰ I will call for my people like
    a lion calling for its young.
My children will come and follow me.
    They will hurry to me from the west.
¹¹ They will come swiftly
    like birds from a captivity like Egypt was,
    and like doves from Assyria.
I will settle them again in their homes,”
    says the Lord.

¹² Israel has surrounded me with lies.
    The people of Israel have made their secret plans.
And Judah turns against God,
    the faithful Holy One.
