1 When Israel was a child, then I loved him, And out of Egypt I called My son. 2 The more they called them, the more they went from them; They sacrificed unto the Baalim, And offered to graven images. 3 And I, I taught Ephraim to walk, Taking them by their arms; But they knew not that I healed them. 4 I drew them with cords of a man, With bands of love; And I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, And I fed them gently. Hosea 11:1-4, JPS Tanakh 1917. Public domain.
