1 When Israel was a child, and I loved him, and I called for my son out of Egypt. 2 They called to them, thus they went from them: they will sacrifice to the Baals, and to the carved images they will burn incense. 3 And I taught Ephraim to walk, taking them by their arms; and they knew not that I healed them. 4 I will draw them with the cords of man, with the bands of love: and I will be to them as those lifting up the yoke upon their jaw-bones, and I will gently give them to eat.
