Hosea 11:4-6
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
4 I led them with cords of human kindness,
with bands of love.
I was to them like those
who lift infants to their cheeks.[a]
I bent down to them and fed them.(A)
5 They shall return to the land of Egypt,
and Assyria shall be their king,
because they have refused to return to me.(B)
6 The sword rages in their cities;
it consumes their oracle priests
and devours because of their schemes.(C)
