Hosea 11:3-5

Jubilee Bible 2000

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.

⁵ He shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be his king because they refused to be converted.
