³ Jeg kjenner Efra'im, og Israel er ikke skjult for mig; for nu har du drevet utukt, Efra'im! Israel er blitt urent.

¹⁹ Da ropte de til Herren i sin nød; av deres trengsler frelste han dem.

¹⁵ He has made the earth by his power, he has established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding has he stretched out the heavens:

¹⁶ when he utters his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; he makes lightning for the rain, and brings forth the wind out of his treasuries.
