Hosea 11:4 YLT

²  They have called to them rightly, They have gone from before them, To lords they do sacrifice, And to graven images they make perfume.

³  And I have caused Ephraim to go on foot, Taking them by their arms, And they have not known that I strengthened them.

⁴  With cords of man I do draw them, With thick cords of love, And I am to them as a raiser up of a yoke on their jaws, And I incline unto him -- I feed 'him'.

⁵  He turneth not back unto the land of Egypt, And Asshur -- he 'is' his king, For they have refused to return.

⁶  Grievous hath been the sword in his cities, And it hath ended his bars, and consumed -- from their own counsels.
