¹⁸ “I have surely heard Ephraim’s moaning:
    ‘You disciplined^(A) me like an unruly calf,^(B)
    and I have been disciplined.
Restore^(C) me, and I will return,
    because you are the Lord my God.
¹⁹ After I strayed,^(D)
    I repented;
after I came to understand,
    I beat^(E) my breast.
I was ashamed^(F) and humiliated
    because I bore the disgrace of my youth.’^(G)

⁵ Then I acknowledged my sin to you
    and did not cover up my iniquity.^(A)
I said, “I will confess^(B)
    my transgressions^(C) to the Lord.”
And you forgave
    the guilt of my sin.^(D)
