⁵ They will be like mighty men
        treading down muddy streets in war.
        They will fight, because Adonai is with them
        and will put horsemen to shame.
⁶ I will strengthen the house of Judah
        and save the house of Joseph.
    I will bring them back,
        for I have compassion on them.
    They will be as though
        I had never spurned them,
    for I am Adonai their God
        and I will answer them!
⁷ The Ephraimites will be like a warrior.
    Their hearts will be glad as with wine.
    Their children will see and be glad.
    Their hearts will rejoice in Adonai.
