勿拜跪、勿崇奉、以我耶和華爾之上帝、乃忌邪之上帝、惡我者、討其罪、自父及子、至三四世、

我必因猶大王希西家子瑪拿西、所行於耶路撒冷之事、播棄之於天下萬國、

故當告民曰、萬軍之耶和華云、爾其返於我、我則返於爾、萬軍之耶和華言之矣、毋效爾列祖、古先知呼之曰、萬軍之耶和華云、轉離爾之惡途惡行、惟彼不聽、不從我言、耶和華言之矣、爾列祖安在乎、眾先知永存乎、惟我所命我僕諸先知之言詞典章、豈非及於爾列祖乎、彼則悛改曰、萬軍之耶和華欲依我所行所為、而施行於我、已若是待我矣、○

勿拜跪、勿崇奉、以我耶和華爾之上帝、乃忌邪之上帝、惡我者討其罪、自父及子、至三四世、

我在曠野、諭其子女曰、勿循爾父之典章、勿從其律例、勿以其偶像自染污衊、我乃耶和華、爾之上帝、當循我典章、遵我律例而行、以我安息日為聖、為我與爾間之徵、俾知我乃耶和華、爾之上帝、

因其不遵我律例、違棄我典章、犯我安息日、注目厥父之偶像、

爾當告以色列家曰、主耶和華云、爾效列祖自染污衊、狥欲從其可惡之物乎、

循我典章、守我律例、行事誠實、斯乃義人、必得生存、主耶和華言之矣、

我祖獲罪而亡、我負厥咎兮、

此事臨及猶大、乃耶和華所命、以屏之於其前、因瑪拿西所犯諸罪也、且因其流無辜之血、遍滿耶路撒冷、耶和華不赦之、

爾論以色列地、奚用諺云、父食酸葡萄、而子齒軟、

然耶和華向猶大之烈怒猶未息、因瑪拿西諸事激之也、
