Hosea 11:2-4
New King James Version
2 [a]As they called them,
So they (A)went [b]from them;
They sacrificed to the Baals,
And burned incense to carved images.
3 “I(B) taught Ephraim to walk,
Taking them by [c]their arms;
But they did not know that (C)I healed them.
4 I drew them with [d]gentle cords,
With bands of love,
And (D)I was to them as those who take the yoke from their [e]neck.
(E)I stooped and fed them.
