¹ Når Efra'im talte, blev alle redde; han raget høit op i Israel; da førte han skyld over sig ved å dyrke Ba'al og døde.

⁷ He raises up the poor out of the dust. Lifts up the needy from the ash heap;

⁸ that he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.

⁹ He settles the barren woman in her home, as a joyful mother of children. Praise Yah!
