Hosea 11:3-5
King James Version
3 I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them.
4 I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love: and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I laid meat unto them.
5 He shall not return into the land of Egypt, and the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to return.

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.
5 “He shall not return to the land of Egypt;
But the Assyrian shall be his king,
Because they refused to repent.
