11 When Israel was a youth I loved him,
And ^(A)out of Egypt I ^(B)called My son.

³ Yet it is I who taught Ephraim to walk,
^[a]I ^(A)took them in My arms;
But they did not know that I ^(B)healed them.
⁴ I ^(C)pulled them along with cords of a man, with ropes of love,
And ^(D)I became to them as one who lifts the yoke from their jaws;
And I bent down and ^(E)fed them.
