Modern English Version
Hosea 11:2-4
Modern English Version
2 As I[a] called them,
so they went from Me.[b]
They sacrificed to the Baals
and burned incense to idols.
3 I taught Ephraim to walk,
taking them up in My[c] arms,
but they did not know
that I healed them.
4 I drew them with cords of human kindness,[d]
with bands of love.
I was to them as those who ease the yoke on their neck,[e]
and I bent down and fed them.
