There’s hope for your children.” God’s Decree.

18–19“I’ve heard the contrition of Ephraim.

Yes, I’ve heard it clearly, saying,

‘You trained me well.

You broke me, a wild yearling horse, to the saddle.

Now put me, trained and obedient, to use.

You are my God.

bring me back that I may be restored,

for you are the Lord my God.

like a calf that needs training for the yoke.

Turn me again to you and restore me,

for you alone are the Lord my God.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

And there is hope for your future,” declares Yahweh,

“and your children will return to their territory.

Indeed I heard Ephraim pitying themselves,

‘You disciplined me, and I was disciplined,

like a calf that is not trained.

Bring me back and let me return,

for you are Yahweh my God.

KJV 1900King James Version

And there is hope in thine end, saith the Lord,

That thy children shall come again to their own border.

I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus;

Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised,

As a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke:

Turn thou me, and I shall be turned;

For thou art the Lord my God.
