18 “I have positively heard Eʹphra·im bemoaning himself,+ ‘You have corrected me, that I may be corrected,+ like a calf that has not been trained.+ Cause me to turn back, and I shall readily turn back,+ for you are Jehovah my God.+

5 Afterwards the sons of Israel will come back and certainly look for Jehovah their God,*+ and for David their king;+ and they will certainly come quivering to Jehovah+ and to his goodness in the final part of the days.+

9 And I shall certainly bring the third [part] through the fire;+ and I shall actually refine them as in the refining of silver,+ and examine them as in the examining of gold.+ It, for its part, will call upon my name, and I, for my part, will answer it.+ I will say, ‘It is my people,’+ and it, in its turn, will say, ‘Jehovah is my God.’”+
