Out of Egypt I Called My Son
(Matthew 2:13–15)
1When Israel was a child, I loved him,
and out of Egypt I called My son.
2But the more I called Israel,
the farther they departed from Me.
They sacrificed to the Baals
and burned incense to carved images.
3It was I who taught Ephraim to walk,
taking them in My arms,
but they never realized
that it was I who healed them.
4I led them with cords of kindness,
with ropes of love;
I lifted the yoke from their necks
and bent down to feed them.
5Will they not return to the land of Egypt
and be ruled by Assyria
because they refused to repent?
6A sword will flash through their cities;
it will destroy the bars of their gates
and consume them in their own plans.
7My people are bent on turning from Me.
Though they call to the Most High,
He will by no means exalt them.
