And humbled hath been the excellency of Israel to his face, And Israel and Ephraim stumble by their iniquity, Stumbled also hath Judah with them.

I go -- I turn back unto My place, Till that they are desolate, and have sought My face. In their distress they do seek Me speedily!'

And they do not say to their heart, That all their evil I have remembered, Now compassed them have their doings, Over-against My face they have been.

And humbled hath been the excellency of Israel to his face, And they have not turned back unto Jehovah their God, Nor have they sought Him for all this.

Cut off is Samaria! Its king is as a chip on the face of the waters.
