Hosea 11

3 And I myself taught Ephraim to walk;

I took them*Hebrew uncertain in my*Hebrew "his" arms,

but they did not know that I healed them.

4 I drew them with human ties,*Literally "ropes of a human"

with the bands of love.

I was to them like one who lifted up*Or "like one who imposed" a yoke on their jaws,*Or "infants to their cheeks"

though I bent down to them*Hebrew "him" and let them*Hebrew "him" eat.
