3 Yet I taught Ephraim to walk; I took them on my 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 lift up the yoke on their jaws; and I laid food before them.
5 They shall not return into the land of Egypt; but the Assyrian shall be their king, because they refused to return 'to me'.
6 And the sword shall fall upon their cities, and shall consume their bars, and devour 'them', because of their own counsels.
7 And my people are bent on backsliding from me: though they call them to 'him that is' on high, none at all will exalt 'him'.
