Hosea 11:2-4
King James Version
2 As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto Baalim, and burned incense to graven images.
3 I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them.
4 I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love: and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I laid meat unto them.

2 But the more they were called,
the more they went away from me.[a](A)

taking them by the arms;(D)

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)
