Hosea 11:2-4
English Standard Version

2 (A)The more they were called,
    the more they went away;
(B)they kept sacrificing to the Baals
    and burning offerings to idols.

3 Yet it was (C)I who taught Ephraim to walk;
    I took them up by their arms,
    but they did not know that (D)I healed them.
4 (E)I led them with cords of kindness,[a]
    with the bands of love,
and (F)I became to them as one who eases the yoke on their jaws,
    and (G)I bent down to them and fed them.
