Oséias 11

3 Yet it was *[ch. 7:15;Deut. 1:31] I who taught Ephraim to walk;

I took them up by their arms,

but they did not know that *Ex. 15:26I healed them.

4 *Jer. 31:3;[John 6:44;12:32] I led them with cords of kindness,*11:4 Or humaneness; Hebrew man

with the bands of love,

and *Lev. 26:13I became to them as one who eases the yoke on their jaws,

and *See Ps. 78:24-29I bent down to them and fed them.
