Hosea 11:1-3

The Voice

    11 Eternal One: When Israel was a child, I loved him;
        and out of Egypt I called My son.^[a]
2     But the more I called to Israel,
        the more they walked away from Me.^[b]
    They kept on sacrificing to other divine masters^[c]
        and burning incense to idols!

³     But I was the one who taught Ephraim to walk, holding him up by his arms,
        but his people didn’t know I was the One who took care of them.
