Hosea 11:3
It was I who taught Ephraim to walk,
from Out of Egypt I Called My Son, Hosea 11:1-7
What it says

God taught Ephraim to walk, took them in His arms, and yet they did not realize He was the One who healed them.

What it is doing

This verse emphasizes divine nurture that Israel received without grateful recognition.

In context

1When Israel was a child, I loved him, 2But the more I called Israel, 3It was I who taught Ephraim to walk, 4I led them with cords of kindness, 5Will they not return to the land of Egypt 6A sword will flash through their cities; 7My people are bent on turning from Me.
