New International Version (NIV)

4“What can I do with you, Ephraim?

What can I do with you, Judah?

Your love is like the morning mist,

like the early dew that disappears.

4¶What shall I do with you, Ephraim?

What shall I do with you, Judah?

For your loyalty is like a morning cloud,

And like the dew which goes away early.

4What shall I do with you, O Ephraim?

What shall I do with you, O Judah?

For your loyalty is like a morning cloud

And like the dew which goes away early.

4¶O Ephraim, what shall I do with you?

O Judah, what shall I do with you?

For your [wavering] loyalty and kindness are [transient] like the morning cloud

And like the dew that goes away early.

4What shall I do with you, O Ephraim6:4 That is, the northern kingdom of Israel; also in verse 10?

What shall I do with you, O Judah?

For your loyalty is like a morning mist,

like the early dew that vanishes.

4The Lord says, “Ephraim, what can I do with you?

And what can I do with you, Judah?

Your love for me vanishes like the morning mist.

It soon disappears like the early dew.
