2 Israel cries out to me,

‘Our God, we acknowledge you!’

3 But Israel has rejected what is good;

an enemy will pursue him.

2 Israel shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee.

3 Israel hath cast off the thing that is good:

The enemy shall pursue him.

2 Now Israel pleads with me,

‘Help us, for you are our God!’

3 But it is too late.

The people of Israel have rejected what is good,

and now their enemies will chase after them.

2 Israel will cry to Me,

‘My God, we know You!’

3 Israel has rejected the good;

The enemy will pursue him.

2 They cry out to me,

‘Our God, we in Israel know you!’

3 But Israel has rejected what is good,

so the enemy will chase them.

2 They shall cry unto me, My God, we Israel know thee. 3 Israel hath cast off that which is good: the enemy shall pursue him.

2 They shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee; we, Israel. 3 Israel hath cast off good: the enemy shall pursue him.

2 They cry out to me, ‘We acknowledge you as our God.’ 

3 However, they have rejected what is good. 

The enemy will persecute them. 

2 Israel cries out to Me,

“My God, we know You!”

3 Israel has rejected what is good;

an enemy will pursue him.

2 Israel cries to me,

“My God, we—Israel—know you!”

3 Israel has spurned the good;

the enemy shall pursue him.

2 They cry out to me,

“My God! We, Israel, know you!”

3 Israel has spurned the good;

the enemy will pursue him.

2 Israel shouts to me,

‘We recognize you as our God!’

3 But they have turned away from what is good.

So an enemy will chase them.

2 They cry out to Me,

“My God, we of Israel know You!”

3 Israel has rejected the good;

The enemy will pursue him.
