| 3 ܘܐܢܐ ܐܟܢܫ ܫܪܟܐ ܕܥܢܝ ܡܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܬܪ̈ܘܬܐ ܕܒܕܪܬ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܬܡܢ ܘܐܗܦܟ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܕܝܪܗܘܢ ܘܢܟܒܪܘܢ ܘܢܣܓܘܢ | 3 And I will gather together the remnant of my flock, out of all the lands into which I have cast them out: and I will make them return to their own fields, and they shall increase and be multiplied. |

| 6 ܒܝ̈ܘܡܘܗܝ ܢܬܦܪܩ ܝܗܘܕܐ ܘܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܢܫܪܐ ܒܫܠܝܐ ܘܗܢܘ ܫܡܗ ܕܢܩܪܘܢܗ ܡܪܝܐ ܙܕܩܢ | 6 In those days shall Juda be saved, and Israel shall dwell confidently: and this is the name that they shall call him: the Lord our just one. |

| 13 ܘܒܢ̈ܒܝܝ ܫܡܪܝܢ ܚܙܝܬ ܕܓܠܘܬܐ ܐܬܢܒܝܘ ܒܒܥܠܐ ܘܐܛܥܝܘ ܠܥܡܝ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ | 13 And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria: they prophesied in Baal, and deceived my people Israel. |

| 16 ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܨܒܐܘܬ ܠܐ ܬܫܡܥܘܢ ܠܦܬ̈ܓܡܐ ܕܢܒ̈ܝܐ ܕܓ̈ܠܐ ܕܡܬܢܒܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܡܛܥܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܚܙܘܐ ܗܘ ܕܠܒܗܘܢ ܡܡܠܠܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܦܘܡ ܡܪܝܐ | 16 Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Hearken not to the words of the prophets that prophesy to you, and deceive you: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the Lord. |
| 17 ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܪܓܙܝܢ ܒܦܬܓܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܫܠܡܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܟܠ ܕܡܗܠܟ ܒܨܒܝܢܐ ܕܠܒܗ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܠܐ ܬܐܬܐ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܒܝܫܬܐ | 17 They say tothem that blaspheme me: The Lord hath said: You shall have peace: and to every one that walketh in the perverseness of his own heart, they have said: No evil shall come to you. |
| 18 ܡܢܘ ܓܝܪ ܩܡ ܒܐܪܙܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܘܚܙܝܗܝ ܘܫܡܥ ܦܬܓܡܗ ܐܘ ܡܢܘ ܨܬ ܦܬܓܡܗ ܘܫܡܥܗ | 18 For who hath stood in the counsel of the Lord, and hath seen and heard his word? Who hath considered his word and heard it? |

| 21 ܠܐ ܫܕܪܬ ܠܢܒ̈ܝܐ ܘܗܢܘܢ ܐܙܠܘ ܘܠܐ ܐܡܪܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܗܢܘܢ ܐܬܢܒܝܘ | 21 I did not send prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied. |
