Hosea 11:4-6
Modern English Version

4 I drew them with cords of human kindness,[a]
    with bands of love.
I was to them as those who ease the yoke on their neck,[b]
    and I bent down and fed them.

5 He will return[c] to the land of Egypt,
    and Assyria will be his king,
    because they refused to return to Me.
6 The sword slashes in their cities,
    consumes their oracle-priests,
    and devours because of their own counsels.
