>>And the save verb (same in the LXX, which is Greek) is used here:<<

First of all Hosea is in Hebrew not Greek. Second, the Hebrew word used there is mashak and means to draw or to drag. It's also used in Psalms 28:3.

Psalms 28:3 Do not drag me away with the wicked And with those who work iniquity, Who speak peace with their neighbors, While evil is in their hearts.

>>There's a sense of guidance but not of coercive force.<<

To draw as in drag is not leading.
