Verse Numbers
1
“When Israel was a child, I loved him, and I called my son out of Egypt.
2
But the more I called to him, the farther he moved from me, offering sacrifices to the images of Baal and burning incense to idols.
3
I myself taught Israel how to walk, leading him along by the hand. But he doesn’t know or even care that it was I who took care of him.
4
I led Israel along with my ropes of kindness and love. I lifted the yoke from his neck, and I myself stooped to feed him.
5
“But since my people refuse to return to me, they will return to Egypt and will be forced to serve Assyria.
6
War will swirl through their cities; their enemies will crash through their gates. They will destroy them, trapping them in their own evil plans.
