- Because Israel `is' a youth, and I love him, Out of Egypt I have called for My Son.
- They have called to them rightly, They have gone from before them, To lords they do sacrifice, And to graven images they make perfume.
- And I have caused Ephraim to go on foot, Taking them by their arms, And they have not known that I strengthened them.
- With cords of man I do draw them, With thick cords of love, And I am to them as a raiser up of a yoke on their jaws, And I incline unto him -- I feed `him'.
- He turneth not back unto the land of Egypt, And Asshur -- he `is' his king, For they have refused to return.
- Grievous hath been the sword in his cities, And it hath ended his bars, and consumed -- from their own counsels.
- And My people are hanging in suspense, about My returning, And unto the Most High they do call, Together they exalt not.
- How do I give thee up, O Ephraim? Do I deliver thee up, O Israel? How do I make thee as Admah? Do I set thee as Zeboim? Turned in Me is My heart, kindled together have been My repentings.
- I do not the fierceness of My anger, I turn not back to destroy Ephraim, For God I `am', and not a man. In thy midst the Holy One, and I enter not in enmity,
- After Jehovah they go -- as a lion He roareth, When He doth roar, then tremble do the sons from the west.
- They tremble as a sparrow out of Egypt, And as a dove out of the land of Asshur, And I have caused them to dwell in their own houses, An affirmation of Jehovah.
- Compassed Me with feigning hath Ephraim, And with deceit the house of Israel. And Judah again is ruling with God, And with the Holy Ones `is' faithful!
