Context
Reversal of the Exodus: Return to Egypt and Exile in Assyria
11:1 When Israel was a young man , I loved him like a son, and I summoned my son out of Egypt .
11:2 But the more I summoned them, the farther they departed from me . They sacrificed to the Baal idols and burned incense to images .
11:3 Yet it was I who led Ephraim , I took them by the arm ; but they did not acknowledge that I had healed them.
11:4 I led them with leather cords , with leather ropes; I lifted the yoke from their neck , and gently fed them.
