18I have heard dEphraim grieving,
‘You have disciplined me, and I was disciplined,
like an untrained calf;
ebring me back that I may be restored,
for you are the Lord my God.
19For after fI had turned away, I relented,
and after I was instructed, gI struck my thigh;
hI was ashamed, and I was confounded,
because I bore the disgrace of my youth.’

Hosea 2:6-7

6Therefore iI will hedge up her
Hebrew your
way with thorns,
and kI will build a wall against her,
so that she cannot find her paths.
7She shall pursue her lovers

and she shall seek them
but shall not find them.
lThen she shall say,
‘I will go and return to mmy first husband,
nfor it was better for me then than now.’
