6 Therefore turne thou to thy God: keepe mercy and iudgement, and hope still in thy God.
To pongah nang loe na Sithaw khaeah amlaem ah; tahmenhaih hoi toenghaih to patawn ah loe, na Sithaw to zing poe ah.
7 He is Canaan: the balances of deceit are in his hand: he loueth to oppresse.

8 And Ephraim saide, Notwithstanding I am rich, I haue found me out riches in all my labours: they shall finde none iniquitie in me, that were wickednesse.
Ephraim mah, kai loe angraeng boeh, kaimah hanah hmuenmae to ka hak boeh; ka sak ih hmuen boih nuiah nihcae mah ka zaehaih to hnu o mak ai, tiah thuih.
9 Though I am the Lord thy God, from the land of Egypt, yet will I make thee to dwel in the tabernacles, as in the daies of the solemne feast.

12 And Iaakob fled into the countrey of Aram, and Israel serued for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheepe.
