- 以法蓮因樂從人的命令、就受欺壓、被審判壓碎。
- 我使以法蓮如蟲蛀之物、使猶大家如朽爛之木。
- 以法蓮見自己有病、猶大見自己有傷、他們就打發人往亞述去見耶雷布王、他卻不能醫治你們、不能治好你們的傷。
- 我必向以法蓮如獅子、向猶大家如少壯獅子、我必撕裂而去、我要奪去、無人搭救。
- 我要回到原處、等他們自覺有罪、〔或作承認己罪〕尋求我面、他們在急難的時候必切切尋求我。

- Ephraim is oppressed, trampled in judgment, intent on pursuing idols.
- I am like a moth to Ephraim, like rot to the people of Judah.
- "When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah his sores, then Ephraim turned to Assyria, and sent to the great king for help. But he is not able to cure you, not able to heal your sores.
- For I will be like a lion to Ephraim, like a great lion to Judah. I will tear them to pieces and go away; I will carry them off, with no one to rescue them.
- Then I will go back to my place until they admit their guilt. And they will seek my face; in their misery they will earnestly seek me."
