Hosea 11:5
Will they not return to the land of Egypt
What it says
Because they refuse to return, they will not escape a new bondage, and Assyria will rule over them.
What it is doing
This verse marks the shift from remembered deliverance to the penalty of unrepentance.
In context
1When Israel was a child, I loved him, 2But the more I called Israel, 3It was I who taught Ephraim to walk, 4I led them with cords of kindness, 5Will they not return to the land of Egypt 6A sword will flash through their cities; 7My people are bent on turning from Me.
