Hosea 11:3-5
Easy-to-Read Version
3 “But I was the one who taught Ephraim to walk.
I took the Israelites in my arms.
I healed them,
but they don’t know that.
4 I led them with ropes,[a]
but they were ropes of love.
I was like a person who set them free.[b]
I bent down and fed them.
5 “The Israelites will not go back to Egypt. The king of Assyria will become their king, because they refused to turn back to God.
