Hosea 11:3-5
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.

    it was I who healed(B) them.
4 I led them with cords of human kindness,
    with ties of love.(C)
To them I was like one who lifts
    a little child to the cheek,
    and I bent down to feed(D) them.(E)

5 “Will they not return to Egypt(F)
    and will not Assyria(G) rule over them
    because they refuse to repent?(H)
