¹⁷ His glory is like a ^(A)firstborn bull,
And his horns like the ^(B)horns of the wild ox;
Together with them
^(C)He shall push the peoples
To the ends of the earth;
^(D)They are the ten thousands of Ephraim,
And they are the thousands of Manasseh.”

^22 (A)God brings them out of Egypt;
He has ^(B)strength like a wild ox.

⁵ Through You ^(A)we will push down our enemies;
Through Your name we will trample those who rise up against us.

7 “When I would have healed Israel,
Then the iniquity of Ephraim was uncovered,
And the wickedness of Samaria.
For ^(A)they have committed fraud;
A thief comes in;
A band of robbers ^[a]takes spoil outside.

⁴ “O Ephraim, what shall I do to you?
O Judah, what shall I do to you?
For your faithfulness is like a morning cloud,
And like the early dew it goes away.
