Modern English Version
Hosea 11:3-5
Modern English Version
3 I taught Ephraim to walk,
taking them up in My[a] arms,
but they did not know
that I healed them.
4 I drew them with cords of human kindness,[b]
with bands of love.
I was to them as those who ease the yoke on their neck,[c]
and I bent down and fed them.
5 He will return[d] to the land of Egypt,
and Assyria will be his king,
because they refused to return to Me.
