Hosea 11:2-4

21st Century King James Version

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

³ I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them.

⁴ I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love; and I was to them as they that take off the yoke from their jaws, and Ilaid meat before them.
