Hosea 11:1-3
International Children’s Bible
God’s Love for Israel
11 “When Israel was a child, I loved him.
And I called my son out of Egypt.
2 But the more I called to the people of Israel,
the further they went from me.
They offered sacrifices to the Baals.
They burned incense to the idols.
3 But it was I who taught Israel to walk.
I took them by the arms.
But they did not understand
that I had healed them.
Hosea 11:1-3
King James Version
11 When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.
2 As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto 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.
