And when she had weaned No-mercy she conceived and bore a son.

And I will give her vineyards to her from there, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope. And she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.

I will not punish your daughters when they fornicate, nor your wives when they commit adultery. For the men themselves go aside with harlots, and they sacrifice with temple prostitutes. The people who do not understand are thrown down.

When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then Ephraim went to the Assyrian and sent to King Jareb. Yet he could not heal you nor cure you of your wound.

Also, O Judah, a harvest is appointed to you, when I return the captivity of My people.

When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was uncovered, and the wickedness of Samaria. For they have worked falsehood. And the thief comes in, the troop of robbers plunders outside.

When they go, I will spread My net on them; I will bring them down like the birds of the heavens; I will chastise them, as a report to their congregation.

And they have not cried to Me with their heart, when they howled on their beds; they gather themselves for grain and wine, and they rebel against Me.

Your calf, O Samaria, has cast you off. My anger is kindled against them. Until when will they not attain purity?

Though they bring up their sons, yet I will make them childless, without a man. Yea, woe also to them when I depart from them!

Ephraim, when I looked toward Tyre, was planted in a pleasant place. But Ephraim shall bring out his sons to the murderer.

When I desire, I shall bind them; and the peoples shall be gathered against them, when they shall bind themselves to their two perversities.

When Israel was a child, then I loved him and called My son out of Egypt.

They shall walk after Jehovah; He shall roar like a lion. When He shall roar, then the sons shall tremble from the west.

When Ephraim spoke trembling, he was lifted up in Israel; but when he offended in Baal, he died.
