Hosea 11:4-6
Names of God Bible

4 I led them with cords of human kindness, with ropes of love.
    I removed the yokes[a] from their necks.
        I bent down and fed them.

5 “They will not return to Egypt.
    Instead, Assyria will rule them
        because they have refused to return to me.
6 War will sweep through their cities,
    demolish their city gates,
        and put an end to their plans.
