1
When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son.
2
The more I a called them, the more they went from me; b they kept sacrificing to the Baals, and offering incense to idols.
3
Yet it was I who taught Ephraim to walk, I took them up in my c arms; but they did not know that I healed them.
