Hosea 11:3 Context
1When Israel was a childe, then I loued him, and called my sonne out of Egypt. 2As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed vnto Baalim, and burnt incense to grauen images. 3I taught Ephraim also to goe, taking them by their armes: but they knew not that I healed them. 4I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of loue, and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their iawes, and I laid meat vnto them. 5¶ He shall not returne into the land of Egypt; but the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to returne
