Hosea 11:5 Context
3I taught Ephraim also to goe, taking them by their armes: but they knew not that I healed them. 4I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of loue, and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their iawes, and I laid meat vnto them. 5¶ He shall not returne into the land of Egypt; but the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to returne 6And the sword shall abide on his cities, and shall consume his branches, and deuoure them, because of their own counsels. 7And my people are bent to backesliding from mee: though they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt him.
