9And I -- Jehovah thy God from the land of Egypt, Again do I turn thee back into tents, As in the days of the appointed time.
10And I have spoken unto the prophets, And I have multiplied vision, And by the hand of the prophets I use similes.

12And Jacob doth flee to the country of Aram, And Israel doth serve for a wife, Yea, for a wife he hath kept watch.
13And by a prophet hath Jehovah brought up Israel out of Egypt, And by a prophet it hath been watched.
14Ephraim hath provoked most bitterly, And his blood on himself he leaveth, And his reproach turn back to him doth his Lord!
