Hosea 11:3-5
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
3 Yet it was I who taught Ephraim to walk,
I took them up in my[a] arms;
but they did not know that I healed them.
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.[b]
I bent down to them and fed them.
5 They shall return to the land of Egypt,
and Assyria shall be their king,
because they have refused to return to me.
