I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them.

Verse 3 is found in chapter 11 of Hosea. God remembers that he called Israel out of Egypt and that the more he called them, the farther they went from him toward the Baals. Images of father and son temporarily replace the marital language and reveal the depth of the divine relationship. God taught Ephraim to walk, took him in his arms, and cared for him, but Israel responded with rebellion.

Ich nahm Ephraim bei seinen Armen und leitete ihn; aber sie merkten es nicht, wie ich ihnen half.
Yo con todo eso guiaba en pies al mismo Ephraim, tomándolos de sus brazos; y no conocieron que yo los cuidaba.
Yo enseñé a Efraín a andar, tomándolos por los brazos, pero no sabían que yo los sanaba.
C'est moi qui guidai les pas d'Ephraïm, Le soutenant par ses bras; Et ils n'ont pas vu que je les guérissais.
Ed io ho insegnato ad Efraim a camminare, prendendolo per le braccia; ma essi non han conosciuto che io li ho sanati.
Todavia, eu ensinei a andar a Efraim; tomando-os pelos seus braços, mas não entenderam que eu os curava.
我曾教導 以法蓮 行走, 我用膀臂 抱起他們, 他們卻不知道是我醫治他們。
