Hoshea 11:2-4
Orthodox Jewish Bible
2 The more I called them, the more they went from Me; they sacrificed unto Ba’alim, and burned incense to peselim (graven images).
3 Yet it was I who taught Ephrayim to walk, taking them by their zero’ot; but they knew not that it was I who healed them.
4 I drew them with cords of man, with bands of ahavah; and I was to them as they that ease the ol (yoke) on their jaws, and I bent down to feed them.

Hosea 11:2-4
New International Version
2 But the more they were called,
the more they went away from me.[a](A)
They sacrificed to the Baals(B)
and they burned incense to images.(C)
3 It was I who taught Ephraim to walk,
taking them by the arms;(D)
but they did not realize
it was I who healed(E) them.
4 I led them with cords of human kindness,
with ties of love.(F)
To them I was like one who lifts
a little child to the cheek,
and I bent down to feed(G) them.(H)
