Hosea 11:6

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.

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

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

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

⁸  How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? how shall I deliver thee, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? how shall I set thee as Zeboim? mine heart is turned within me, my repentings are kindled together.
