- And the sword shall abide on his cities, and shall consume his branches, and devour them, because of their own counsels.
- And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt him.
- How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? how shall I deliver thee, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? how shall I set thee as Zeboim? mine heart is turned within me, my repentings are kindled together.
- I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not enter into the city.
- They shall walk after the LORD: he shall roar like a lion: when he shall roar, then the children shall tremble 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。
