Hosea 11:2-4

2 aThe more they were called,
the more they went away;
bthey kept sacrificing to the Baals
and burning offerings to idols.
3 Yet it was cI who taught Ephraim to walk;
I took them up by their arms,
but they did not know that dI healed them.
4 eI led them with cords of kindness,
Or humaneness; Hebrew man

with the bands of love,
and gI became to them as one who eases the yoke on their jaws,
and hI bent down to them and fed them.

Hosea 11:7

7My people are bent ion turning away from me,
and though jthey call out to the Most High,
he shall not raise them up at all.

Hosea 11:12

Ch 12:1 in Hebrew
Ephraim lhas surrounded me with lies,
and the house of Israel with deceit,
but Judah still walks with God
and is faithful to the Holy One.
