Hosea 11

3 Yet it is I who taught Ephraim to walk,

* 11:3 As in ancient versions; MT He...His I took them in My arms;

But they did not know that I healed them.

4 I pulled them along with cords of a man, with ropes of love,

And I became to them as one who lifts the yoke from their jaws;

And I bent down and fed them.
