Hosea 11:1-3

New Century Version

11 “When Israel was a child, I loved him,
    and I called my son out of Egypt.
² But when I called the people of Israel,
    they went away from me.
They offered sacrifices to the Baals
    and burned incense to the idols.
³ It was I who taught Israel to walk,
    and I took them by the arms,
but they did not understand
    that I had healed them.
