Hosea 11:1-3

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

God’s Compassion Despite Israel’s Ingratitude

11 When Israel was a child, I loved him,
    and out of Egypt I called my son.
²The more I^[a] called them,
    the more they went from me;^[b]

    and offering incense to idols.

³Yet it was I who taught Ephraim to walk,
I took them up in my^[c] arms;
but they did not know that I healed them.
