Hosea 11:1-3
Hosea 11:1-3 TPT
“I have deeply loved Israel from his very beginning. From Egypt, I called my son. The more the people of Israel were invited to come to me, the more they turned away from me. They sacrificed to the Baal-idols and burned incense to pagan images even though I was the one who taught Israel to walk. I took them up in my arms and carried them, yet they did not acknowledge that I was their healer.
