Hosea 11:4

I led them with cords of kindness , with the bands of love , and I became to them as one who eases the yoke on their jaws , and I bent down to them and fed them.

I led them with cords of human kindness, with ties of love. To them I was like one who lifts a little child to the cheek, and I bent down to feed them.

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.
