- "Ephraim is like a dove, easily deceived and senseless-- now calling to Egypt, now turning to Assyria.
- When they go, I will throw my net over them; I will pull them down like birds of the air. When I hear them flocking together, I will catch them.
- Woe to them, because they have strayed from me! Destruction to them, because they have rebelled against me! I long to redeem them but they speak lies against me.
- They do not cry out to me from their hearts but wail upon their beds. They gather together for grain and new wine but turn away from me.
- I trained them and strengthened them, but they plot evil against me.

- 以法蓮好像鴿子愚蠢無知、他們求告埃及、投奔亞述。
- 他們去的時候、我必將我的網撒在他們身上、我要打下他們、如同空中的鳥、我必按他們會眾所聽見的、懲罰他們。
- 他們因離棄我、必定有禍、因違背我、必被毀滅.我雖要救贖他們、他們卻向我說謊。
- 他們並不誠心哀求我、乃在床上呼號.他們為求五榖新酒聚集、仍然悖逆我。
- 我雖教導他們、堅固他們的膀臂、他們竟圖謀抗拒我。
