Hosea 11:1-4

1 "When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called My son out of Egypt.
2 As they called them, so they went from them; they sacrificed unto the Baalim, and burned incense to graven images.
3 I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them.
4 I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love; and I was to them as they that take off the yoke from their jaws, and I laid meat before them.
