Hosea 11:3-5

Young's Literal Translation

³ And I have caused Ephraim to go on foot, Taking them by their arms, And they have not known that I strengthened them.

⁴ With cords of man I do draw them, With thick cords of love, And I am to them as a raiser up of a yoke on their jaws, And I incline unto him -- I feed [him].

⁵ He turneth not back unto the land of Egypt, And Asshur -- he [is] his king, For they have refused to return.
