ESVEnglish Standard Version

Ephraim was a trained calf

that loved to thresh,

and I spared her fair neck;

but I will put Ephraim to the yoke;

Judah must plow;

Jacob must harrow for himself.

Ephraim is a trained heifer

that loves to thresh;

so I will put a yoke

on her fair neck.

Judah must plow,

and Jacob must break up the ground.

Ephraim is a well-trained calf

that loves to thresh,

but I will place a yoke on her fine neck.

Judah will plow;

Jacob will do the final plowing.

NLTNew Living Translation

“Israel is like a trained heifer treading out the grain—

an easy job she loves.

But I will put a heavy yoke on her tender neck.

I will force Judah to pull the plow

and Israel to break up the hard ground.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Ephraim was a trained heifer,

that loved to thresh grain,

and I myself spared

the fairness of her neck;

I will make Ephraim break the ground,

Judah will plow,

Jacob must till for himself.
