I will see him myself;

my eyes will look at him, and not as a stranger.[fn]

against a ruined person[fn]

when he cries out to him for help

because of his distress.

So Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite replied:

I am young in years,

while you are old;

therefore I was timid and afraid

to tell you what I know.

if I have done wrong, I won’t do it again.”

Therefore, I reject my words and am sorry for them;

I am dust and ashes.[fn][fn]

I[fn] am deeply depressed;

therefore I remember you from the land of Jordan

and the peaks of Hermon, from Mount Mizar.

Until the day breaks[fn]

and the shadows flee,

I will make my way to the mountain of myrrh

and the hill of frankincense.

truth has gone from my mouth,

a word that will not be revoked:

Every knee will bow to me,

every tongue will swear allegiance.

“Just as underwear clings to one’s waist, so I fastened the whole house of Israel and of Judah to me” ​— ​this is the LORD’s declaration ​— ​“so that they might be my people for my fame, praise, and glory, but they would not obey.

“But if you do not obey these words, then I swear by myself ​— ​this is the LORD’s declaration ​— ​that this house will become a ruin.’ ”

“For by myself I have sworn” ​— ​this is the LORD’s declaration ​— ​“Bozrah[fn] will become a desolation, a disgrace, a ruin, and an example for cursing, and all its surrounding cities will become ruins forever.”

“I am perfect in beauty.”

I will take you to be my wife in righteousness,

justice, love, and compassion.

I will sow her[fn] in the land for myself,

and I will have compassion

on Lo-ruhamah;

I will say to Lo-ammi:

You are my people,

and he will say, “You are my God.”

So I bought her for fifteen shekels of silver and nine bushels of barley.[fn][fn]

But Ephraim thinks,

“How rich I have become;

I made it all myself.

In all my earnings,

no one can find any iniquity in me

that I can be punished for! ”[fn]

For I will bend Judah as my bow;

I will fill that bow with Ephraim.

I will rouse your sons, Zion,

against your sons, Greece.[fn]

I will make you like a warrior’s sword.
