Hosea 11:1-3

Modern English Version

11 When Israel was a child, I loved him,
    and out of Egypt I called My son.
² As I^[a] called them,
    so they went from Me.^[b]
They sacrificed to the Baals
    and burned incense to idols.
³ I taught Ephraim to walk,
    taking them up in My^[c] arms,
but they did not know
    that I healed them.
