Hosea 11:4-6
Modern English Version
4 I drew them with cords of human kindness,[a]
with bands of love.
I was to them as those who ease the yoke on their neck,[b]
and I bent down and fed them.
5 He will return[c] to the land of Egypt,
and Assyria will be his king,
because they refused to return to Me.
6 The sword slashes in their cities,
consumes their oracle-priests,
and devours because of their own counsels.
