Hosea 11:2-4

Jubilee Bible 2000

² As they called them, so they went from them; they sacrificed unto Baalim, and burned incense to graven images.

³ Even with all this I guided the feet of this same Ephraim, taking them by their arms; but they did not know that I cared for them.

⁴ I drew them with human cords, with bands of love, and I was to them as those that raise the yoke from upon their cheeks, and I fed them.
