Hosea 11:4-6
International Children’s Bible

4 I led them with cords of human kindness,
    with ties of love.
I lifted the yoke from their neck.
    I bent down and fed them.

5 “The Israelites will become captives again, as they were in Egypt.
    The king of Assyria will become their king.
    This is because they refuse to turn to God.
6 War will sweep through their cities.
    It will destroy them,
    because of their wicked plans.

5 “Will they not return to Egypt(D)
    and will not Assyria(E) rule over them
    because they refuse to repent?(F)
6 A sword(G) will flash in their cities;
