Vi vil ej søge Hjælp hos Assur, ej ride paa Stridshest, vi kalder ej mer vore Hænders Værk vor Gud; hos dig finder faderløs Medynk.«
4 I will heal apostasy their I will love them voluntariness for it has turned away anger my from him.

Atter skal de bo i min Skygge, Korn skal de avle, skyde som en Vinstok med Ry som Libanons Vin.
8 O Ephraim what? to me again to idols I I will answer and I will watch over it I [am] like a cypress tree luxuriant from me fruit your it is found.
Hvad skal Efraim mere med Afguder? Jeg hører ham, ser ned til ham. Jeg er som en grøn Cypres, du faar din Frugt fra mig.
