When Israel was a child, I loved him.
When Israel was a child, I loved him.
And I called my son out of Egypt.
2But the more I called to the people of Israel,
the further they went from me.
They offered sacrifices to the Baals.
They burned incense to the idols.
以色列年幼的時候,我就愛他。
我從埃及召我的兒子出來。 可是我越發呼喚他們, 他們越發走開;
他們給巴力獻祭, 向偶像燒香。何西阿書11:1-2
