9 Ephraim will be laid waste

on the day of reckoning.

Among the tribes of Israel

I proclaim what is certain.

9 Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke:

Among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be.

9 One thing is certain, Israel:

On your day of punishment,

you will become a heap of rubble.

9 Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke;

Among the tribes of Israel I make known what is sure.

9 Israel will be ruined

on the day of punishment.

To the tribes of Israel

I tell the truth.

9 Ephraim shall become a desolation in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be.

9 Ephraim shall be a desolation in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which is sure.

9 Ephraim will become a wasteland 

when the time for punishment comes. 

I will make the truth known among the tribes of Israel. 

9 Ephraim will become a desolation

on the day of punishment;

I announce what is certain

among the tribes of Israel.

9 Ephraim shall become a desolation

in the day of punishment;

among the tribes of Israel

I declare what is sure.

9 Ephraim will be a desolation

in the day of punishment;

among the tribes of Israel

I will reveal what is true.

9 People of Ephraim, you will be completely destroyed

when it is time for me to punish you.

You can be sure it will happen.

I am announcing it among your tribes.

9 Ephraim will become a desolation in the day of rebuke;

Among the tribes of Israel I declare what is sure.
