Hosea 11:3-7
Living Bible
3 I trained him from infancy, I taught him to walk, I held him in my arms. But he doesn’t know or even care that it was I who raised him.
4 “As a man would lead his favorite ox,[a] so I led Israel with my ropes of love. I loosened his muzzle so he could eat. I myself have stooped and fed him. 5 But my people shall return to Egypt and Assyria because they won’t return to me.
6 “War will swirl through their cities; their enemies will crash through their gates and trap them in their own fortresses. 7 For my people are determined to desert me. And so I have sentenced them to slavery, and no one shall set them free.

Hosea 11:3-7
Lexham English Bible
3 And I myself taught Ephraim to walk;
I took them[a] in my[b] arms,
but they did not know that I healed them.
4 I drew them with human ties,[c]
with the bands of love.
I was to them like one who lifted up[d] a yoke on their jaws,[e]
though I bent down to them[f] and let them[g] eat.
5 He will return[h] to the land of Egypt,
and Assyria will be his king,[i]
because they refused to return.
6 The sword rages in his cities;
it consumes his false prophets
and devours because of their plans.
7 My people are bent on backsliding from me.
To the Most High they call,
he does not raise them at all.
