1 When Israel was a child, I loved him; and out of Egypt I called My son. 2 And I called to them, so they went away from My face; to the Baals they sacrificed, and to the carved images they burned incense. 3 And I had guided the feet of Ephraim, taking them by the arms; they did not know that it was I who healed them. 4 With cords of humanity I drew them, with bands of love; and I was to them like those lifting the yoke up from their jaws, and I bent down to them to let them eat.
