先知曰、斯民立約誑辭是尚、故災害必降、譬諸茵蔯、生於田疇、

他们为立约说谎言，起假誓；因此，灾罚如苦菜滋生在田间的犁沟中。

彼出虛言、假誓立約、故災罰滋生、若毒草之於隴畝、

斯民出言惟虛、立盟妄誓、故災罰滋生、如茵蔯生於田隴、

爾不秉公、不行義、反使人茹荼飲酖、

彼妄發誓詞、專事誑言、淫人妻室、奪人貨財、殺戮人民、流血四境、

磐巖之上、豈可使馬馳驟、使牛耕耘乎、聽訟之所、當秉公義、惟爾使人茹荼飲酖、

與王子結約、加以盟誓、取其世家為質、使國為卑、不復振興、但守盟約、猶可自保。乃王子背巴比倫王約、遣使至埃及、欲其率軍馬以至、彼行是事、豈能亨通、豈能免難、爽約之人、豈能獲救。我耶和華指己而誓、王子既為巴比倫王所立、藐視其主、爽其盟約、則必至巴比倫而沒、敵既築壘建營、欲滅邑眾、法老雖率旅眾多、以助其戰、亦必不利、蓋王子於立約之後、不以盟誓為重、而爽其約、故不能免難。主耶和華又曰、彼藐視約言、而背我命、我指己而誓、必罰其罪、

亞述王撒馬尼斯攻何西、何西臣服納貢、厥後蓄異謀、遣使與埃及王瑣通好、歲貢之物不復進納、亞述王知而禁錮之、

彼爽約若亞當、居處斯土、違逆乎我、

拂情、背誓約興謠諑、縱嗜欲、行殘刻、疾善良、

頑梗、背約、不情、搆怨、中無惻隱、

爾中之男女、宗族支派、其心毋違我上帝耶和華、而奉事他邦之上帝、爾中之人、其毒毋太苦、如茵蔯之根、

慎勿失上帝恩、恐有若惡草、根株滋長、妨爾浼眾、

我已妄行、背逆我上帝耶和華、所謀不軌、言行俱謬。秉公義者、遠遁遙立、言真實者、仆於逵衢、不敢入邑。尚誠慤者不可得、改惡行者每遇害、援手無人、保護無人、耶和華見仁義衰頹、惄然憂之、彰厥仁義、顯厥大能、以拯斯民焉。

其三天使吹角、遂有大星、焰如明燈、自天而隕、河與源三分變其一、星名茵蔯、水三分之一、苦若茵蔯、飲者多死、

萬有之主耶和華、視以色列族猶大之民、無異葡萄園、無異嘉種、使行仁從義、惟彼嗜殺人、行暴虐、小民號呼。

我見爾如在苦膽中、為物欲所繫也、
