- "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.

- 以法莲好像鸽子愚蠢无知。他们求告埃及,投奔亚述。
- 他们去的时候,我必将我的网撒在他们身上,我要打下他们,如同空中的鸟。我必按他们会众所听见的惩罚他们。
- 他们因离弃我,必定有祸,因违背我,必被毁灭。我虽要救赎他们,他们却向我说谎。
- 他们并不诚心哀求我,乃在床上呼号。他们为求五谷新酒聚集,仍然悖逆我。
- 我虽教导他们,坚固他们的膀臂,他们竟图谋抗拒我。
