11: 3 Yet I taught Ephraim to walk; ¹⁰⁵I took them on my arms; but they knew not that I healed them.
¹⁰⁵Hb. he took them on his arms;

11: 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.

11: 11 They shall come trembling as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria; and I will make them to dwell in their houses, saith Jehovah.
11: 12 Ephraim compasseth me about with falsehood, and the house of Israel with deceit; ¹¹⁰but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the Holy Ones.
