Hosea 11:2-4

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

² As they called them, they went away from before their face: they offered victims to Baalim, and sacrificed to idols.

³ And I was like a foster father to Ephraim, I carried them in my arms: and they knew not that I healed them.

⁴ I will draw them with the cords of Adam, with the bands of love: and I will be to them as one that taketh off the yoke on their jaws: and I put his meat to him that he might eat.
