Da jeg håpet for mitt folks fremtid og ville gjøre Israel godt, ble Efraims synd avdekket, og Samarias ondskap; for deres veier er falske. Tyven bryter inn i huset, mens gjengen av lovløse raner på gatene.
When my desire was for the fate of my people to be changed and to make Israel well, then the sin of Ephraim was made clear, and the evil-doing of Samaria; for their ways are false, and the thief comes into the house, while the band of outlaws takes property by force in the streets.
