- Swords will flash in their cities, will destroy the bars of their gates and put an end to their plans.
- My people are determined to turn from me. Even if they call to the Most High, he will by no means exalt them.
- "How can I give you up, Ephraim? How can I hand you over, Israel? How can I treat you like Admah? How can I make you like Zeboiim? My heart is changed within me; all my compassion is aroused.
- I will not carry out my fierce anger, nor will I turn and devastate Ephraim. For I am God, and not man-- the Holy One among you. I will not come in wrath.
- They will follow the LORD; he will roar like a lion. When he roars, his children will come trembling from the west.

- 刀劍必臨到他們的城邑、毀壞門閂、把人吞滅、都因他們隨從自己的計謀。
- 我的民偏要背道離開我、眾先知雖然招呼他們歸向至上的主、卻無人尊崇主。
- 以法蓮哪、我怎能捨棄你、以色列阿、我怎能棄絕你、我怎能使你如押瑪、怎能使你如洗扁、我回心轉意、我的憐愛大大發動。
- 我必不發猛烈的怒氣、也不再毀滅以法蓮、因我是 神、並非世人、是你們中間的聖者、我必不在怒中臨到你們。
- 耶和華必如獅子吼叫、子民必跟隨他、他一吼叫、他們就從西方急速而來。
