| Hosea 11:3 | Yet I taught Ephraim to walk; I took them on my arms; but they didn't know that I healed them. | |||||||||||||||
| Hosea 11:4 | I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love; and I was to them as those who lift up the yoke on their jaws; and I laid food before them. | |||||||||||||||

| Hosea 11:8 | How shall I give you up, Ephraim? [how] shall I cast you off, Israel? how shall I make you as Admah? [how] shall I set you as Zeboiim? my heart is turned within me, my compassion is aroused. | |||||||||||||||
| Hosea 11:9 | I will not execute the fierceness of my anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of you; and I will not come in wrath. | |||||||||||||||

| Hosea 11:12 | Ephraim compasses me about with falsehood, and the house of Israel with deceit; but Judah yet rules with God, and is faithful with the Holy One. | |||||||||||||||
