KJV ¹ O israel, return unto the LORD thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity.

VULC ¹ [Pereat Samaria, quoniam ad amaritudinem concitavit Deum suum !
in gladio pereant,
parvuli eorum elidantur,
et fœtæ ejus discindantur !]

KJV ² Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips.

VULC ² [Convertere, Israël, ad Dominum Deum tuum,
quoniam corruisti in iniquitate tua.

KJV ³ Asshur shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses: neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, Ye are our gods: for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy.

VULC ³ Tollite vobiscum verba,
et convertimini ad Dominum ; et dicite ei :
Omnem aufer iniquitatem, accipe bonum,
et reddemus vitulos labiorum nostrorum.

KJV ⁴ I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him.

VULC ⁴ Assur non salvabit nos :
super equum non ascendemus,
nec dicemus ultra, Dii nostri opera manuum nostrarum :
quia ejus, qui in te est, misereberis pupilli.

KJV ⁵ I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.

VULC ⁵ Sanabo contritiones eorum ;
diligam eos spontanee :
quia aversus est furor meus ab eis.

KJV ⁶ His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon.

VULC ⁶ Ero quasi ros ;
Israël germinabit sicut lilium,
et erumpet radix ejus ut Libani.

KJV ⁷ They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the corn, and grow as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon.

VULC ⁷ Ibunt rami ejus,
et erit quasi oliva gloria ejus,
et odor ejus ut Libani.

KJV ⁸ Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have heard him, and observed him: I am like a green fir tree. From me is thy fruit found.

VULC ⁸ Convertentur sedentes in umbra ejus ;
vivent tritico, et germinabunt quasi vinea ;
memoriale ejus sicut vinum Libani.

KJV ⁹ Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the LORD are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein.

VULC ⁹ Ephraim, quid mihi ultra idola ?
Ego exaudiam, et dirigam eum ego ut abietem virentem ;
ex me fructus tuus inventus est.

VULC ¹⁰ Quis sapiens, et intelliget ista ? intelligens, et sciet hæc ?
quia rectæ viæ Domini,
et justi ambulabunt in eis ;
prævaricatores vero corruent in eis.]
