Hoshea 11:2-4

Orthodox Jewish Bible

² The more I called them, the more they went from Me; they sacrificed unto Ba’alim, and burned incense to peselim (graven images).

³ Yet it was I who taught Ephrayim to walk, taking them by their zero’ot; but they knew not that it was I who healed them.

⁴ I drew them with cords of man, with bands of ahavah; and I was to them as they that ease the ol (yoke) on their jaws, and I bent down to feed them.
