שָׁמ֣וֹעַ שָׁמַ֗עְתִּי אֶפְרַ֙יִם֙ מִתְנוֹדֵ֔ד יִסַּרְתַּ֙נִי֙ וָֽאִוָּסֵ֔ר כְּעֵ֖גֶל לֹ֣א לֻמָּ֑ד הֲשִׁיבֵ֣נִי וְאָשׁ֔וּבָה כִּ֥י אַתָּ֖ה יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהָֽי׃
J’entends bien Ephraïm se désoler: "Tu m’as corrigé et j’ai accepté la correction, tel un bouvillon indompté: accueille-moi de nouveau, je reviens à toi; car toi seul, Éternel, seras mon Dieu.
Targum Jonathan
