Hosea 11:2-4

World English Bible

² They called to them, so they went from them.
    They sacrificed to the Baals,
    and burned incense to engraved images.
³ Yet I taught Ephraim to walk.
    I took them by his arms;
    but they didn’t know that I healed them.
⁴ I drew them with cords of a man, with ties of love;
    and I was to them like those who lift up the yoke on their necks;
    and I bent down to him and I fed him.
