Hosea 11:3

God Will Have Compassion

² The more they were called, the more they went away; they kept sacrificing to the Baals and burning offerings to idols. ³ Yet it is I who taught Ephraim to walk,
I took them in My arms;
But they did not know that I healed them.
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.

It is I
