Hosea 11:2-4
Revised Standard Version
Hosea 11:2-4
Revised Standard Version
2 The more I[a] called them,
the more they went from me;[b]
they kept sacrificing to the Ba′als,
and burning incense to idols.
3 Yet it was I who taught E′phraim to walk,
I took them up in my[c] arms;
but they did not know that I healed them.
4 I led them with cords of compassion,[d]
with the bands of love,
and I became to them as one
who eases the yoke on their jaws,
and I bent down to them and fed them.
