Hosea 11:1-7
Out of Egypt I Called My Son

1 When Israel [was] a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.

1:

2 [As] they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto Baalim, and burned incense to graven images.

2:

3 I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them.

3:

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 laid meat unto them.

4:

5 He shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to return.

5:

6 And the sword shall abide on his cities, and shall consume his branches, and devour [them], because of their own counsels.

6:

7 And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt [him].

7:
