Hosea 11:1-3

Holman Christian Standard Bible

11 When Israel was a child, I loved him,^(A)
and out of Egypt I called My son.^(B)
2 The more they^[a] called them,^[b](C)
the more they^[c] departed from Me.^[d]
They kept sacrificing to the Baals^(D)
and burning offerings to idols.^(E)
3 It was I who taught Ephraim to walk,^(F)
taking them^[e] in My arms,^(G)
but they never knew that I healed them.^(H)
