Hosea 11:3-5

New American Standard Bible 1995

³ Yet it is I who taught Ephraim to walk,
^[a]I ^(A)took them in My arms;
But they did not know that I ^(B)healed them.
⁴ I ^(C)led them with cords of a man, with bonds of love,
And ^(D)I became to them as one who lifts the yoke from their jaws;
And I bent down and ^(E)fed them.
