Hosea 11:2
Berean Standard Bible
But the more I called Israel, the farther they departed from Me.* They sacrificed to the Baals and burned incense to carved images.
Context
1When Israel was a child, I loved him,
and out of Egypt I called My son.* 2But the more I called Israel,
the farther they departed from Me.*
They sacrificed to the Baals
and burned incense to carved images. 3It was I who taught Ephraim * to walk,
taking them in My arms,
but they never realized
that it was I who healed them. 4I led them with cords of kindness,
with ropes of love;
I lifted the yoke from their necks
and bent down to feed them.
