3 And I was like a foster father to Ephraim. I carried them in my arms. And they did not know that I healed them.
4 I will draw them with the cords of Adam, with the bands of love. And I will be to them like one who raises the yoke over their jaws. And I will reach down to him so that he may eat.
5 He will not return to the land of Egypt, but Assur himself will be the king over him, because they were not willing to be converted.
6 The sword has begun in his cities, and it will consume his elect and devour their heads.
7 And my people will long for my return. But a yoke will be imposed on them together, which will not be taken away.
