Hosea 11:3-5
Common English Bible
3 Yet it was I who taught Ephraim to walk;
I took them up in my arms,
but they did not know that I healed them.
4 I led them
with bands of human kindness,
with cords of love.
I treated them like those
who lift infants to their cheeks;
I bent down to them and fed them.
Divine frustration
5 They will return to the land of Egypt,
and Assyria will be their king,
because they have refused to return to me.
