Denn ich denck noch wol daran, was ich ihm geredet habe;

Ist nicht Ephraim mein teurer Sohn und mein trautes Kind?
Denn ich denk noch wohl daran, was ich ihm geredet habe;
darum bricht mir mein Herz gegen ihn, dass ich mich sein erbarmen muss, spricht der Herr.

Is not Ephraim my dear son, the child in whom I delight?
Though I often speak against him, I still remember him.
Therefore my heart yearns for him; I have great compassion for him, declares the Lord.
