「你們以色列人為什麼說『父親吃了酸葡萄，兒子的牙酸倒了』這句俗語呢？主耶和華說，我憑我的永恆起誓，你們在以色列必不再用這句話。

俗語說，『惡事出於惡人』，所以我不會動手傷害你。

你和你母親及姊妹如出一轍，都厭棄自己的丈夫和兒女。你母親是赫人，你父親是亞摩利人。

你要告訴她，主耶和華這樣對她說，『你祖居迦南，生於迦南。你的父親是亞摩利人，母親是赫人。

這些事以後，眾首領來告訴我說：「以色列民眾、祭司和利未人還沒有與當地各族分開，他們仍隨從迦南人、赫人、比利洗人、耶布斯人、亞捫人、摩押人、埃及人和亞摩利人的可憎行為。

拒絕遵守祂的律例和祂與他們祖先所立的約，無視祂的警告。他們隨從虛無的偶像，自己也變得虛無。他們違背耶和華的命令，去效法周圍的外族人。

可是以色列人不肯聽從。瑪拿西誘使他們作惡，比耶和華在以色列人面前所毀滅的各族更嚴重。

反倒與他們混居，仿效他們的習俗，拜他們的神像，陷入網羅。他們把自己的兒女當祭物獻給鬼魔，他們把自己的兒女獻給迦南的神像作祭物，流他們兒女無辜的血，玷污了那地方。

「人子啊，你們以色列有一句俗語，『光陰流逝，異象都落空。』

亞哈聽說拿伯死了，就起來，下去霸佔拿伯的葡萄園。

在各邱壇燒香，如同耶和華在他們面前趕走的外族人一樣。他們邪惡的行為激怒了耶和華。
