Hosea 11:4

我用慈绳 爱索牵引他们； 我待他们如人放松牛的两腮夹板， 把粮食放在他们面前。

wǒ yòng cí shéng ài suǒ qiān yǐn tā men ； wǒ dài tā men rú rén fàng sōng niú de liǎng sāi jiā bǎn ， bǎ liáng shi fàng zài tā men miàn qián 。

I drew them with cords of a man, with ties of love; and I was to them like those who lift up the yoke on their necks; and I bent down to him and I fed him.
