Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, My Father, thou art the guide of my youth?

从今以后，你岂不向我呼叫说：‘我父啊，你是我幼年的恩主。

你不是才向我呼叫说：‘我父啊，你是我年轻时的密友，

你不是才向我呼叫说：‘我父啊，你是我年轻时的密友，

你不是刚对我说，‘我父啊！你从我年幼时就做我的朋友。

你刚刚不是还呼叫我：‘我父啊！你是我年轻时的良伴；

從今以後，你豈不向我呼叫說：我父啊，你是我幼年的恩主。

你不是才向我呼叫說：『我父啊，你是我年輕時的密友，

你不是才向我呼叫說：『我父啊，你是我年輕時的密友，

你不是剛對我說，『我父啊！你從我年幼時就做我的朋友。

你剛剛不是還呼叫我：‘我父啊！你是我年輕時的良伴；

豈不是你剛剛呼叫我：「我父啊，你是我青年時的配偶——

自茲以往、爾豈不呼我曰、爾乃我父、為我少年之導、

當爾幼沖、我誨爾諄諄、何至今日、不以我為父。

爾方稱我為父、爾又曰、我在爾幼時、向爾施愛、

Have you not just called to me:‘ My Father, my friend from my youth,

You have just now called out to me. You said,‘ My Father, you have been my friend ever since I was young.

Have you not just now called to me,‘ My father, you are the friend of my youth—

Yet you say to me,‘ Father, you have been my guide since my youth.

Haven’t you recently called to me,“ My Father! You were my friend in my youth.

Have you not just now called to Me,‘ My Father, You are the friend of my youth?

Will you not from this time cry to Me,‘ My father, You are the guide of my youth?

Have you not lately called to Me,“ My Father. You were my friend in my youth.

Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, My father, thou[ art] the guide of my youth?

Even now you say to me,‘ You are my father! You have been my faithful companion ever since I was young.

Will you not from this time cry to me,‘ My Father, you are the guide of my youth?’

Go, and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith Jehovah, I remember for thee the kindness of thy youth, the love of thine espousals; how thou wentest after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown.

But I said, How I will put thee among the children, and give thee a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the hosts of the nations! and I said, Ye shall call me My Father, and shall not turn away from following me.

That forsaketh the friend of her youth, And forgetteth the covenant of her God:

And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope; and she shall make answer there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.

O God, thou hast taught me from my youth; And hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.

They shall come with weeping; and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by rivers of waters, in a straight way wherein they shall not stumble; for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my first- born.

To give prudence to the simple, To the young man knowledge and discretion:

For this God is our God for ever and ever: He will be our guide even unto death.

I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus, Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised, as a calf unaccustomed to the yoke: turn thou me, and I shall be turned; for thou art Jehovah my God.Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I smote upon my thigh: I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth.Is Ephraim my dear son? is he a darling child? for as often as I speak against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my heart yearneth for him; I will surely have mercy upon him, saith Jehovah.

O Israel, return unto Jehovah thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity.Take with you words, and return unto Jehovah: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and accept that which is good: so will we render as bullocks the offering of our lips.Assyria shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses; neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, Ye are our gods; for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy.

Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because Jehovah hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously, though she is thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant.

For thou art my hope, O Lord Jehovah: Thou art my trust from my youth.

who say to a stock, Thou art my father; and to a stone, Thou hast brought me forth: for they have turned their back unto me, and not their face; but in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us.

Wherewith shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed thereto according to thy word.
