Hosea 11:2-4

Young's Literal Translation

² They have called to them rightly, They have gone from before them, To lords they do sacrifice, And to graven images they make perfume.

³ And I have caused Ephraim to go on foot, Taking them by their arms, And they have not known that I strengthened them.

⁴ With cords of man I do draw them, With thick cords of love, And I am to them as a raiser up of a yoke on their jaws, And I incline unto him -- I feed [him].
