Hosea 11:3-4
New King James Version
3 “I(A) taught Ephraim to walk,
Taking them by [a]their arms;
But they did not know that (B)I healed them.
4 I drew them with [b]gentle cords,
With bands of love,
And (C)I was to them as those who take the yoke from their [c]neck.
(D)I stooped and fed them.

9 (A)They shall come with weeping,
And with supplications I will lead them.
I will cause them to walk (B)by the rivers of waters,
In a straight way in which they shall not stumble;
For I am a Father to Israel,
And Ephraim is My (C)firstborn.
