Hosea 11:4-6
Lexham English Bible
4 I drew them with human ties,[a]
with the bands of love.
I was to them like one who lifted up[b] a yoke on their jaws,[c]
though I bent down to them[d] and let them[e] eat.
5 He will return[f] to the land of Egypt,
and Assyria will be his king,[g]
because they refused to return.
6 The sword rages in his cities;
it consumes his false prophets
and devours because of their plans.
