“ Oh, how can I give you up, Israel? How can I let you go? How can I destroy you like Admah or demolish you like Zeboiim? My heart is torn within me, and my compassion overflows.

以法蓮為我之愛子乎、為可悅之子乎、我每言及、則深念之、心為之動、我必矜恤之、耶和華言之矣、○

以法蓮歟、我將何以待爾、猶大歟、我將何以待爾、蓋爾之仁義、有若朝雲、又如速消之露、

耶路撒冷歟、耶路撒冷歟、殺先知石擊使於爾者乎、我欲集爾赤子、似牝鷄集雛翼下者屢矣、而爾不欲也、

又見硫磺與鹽、火焚遍地、不種不產、不生草萊、如所多瑪、蛾摩拉、押瑪、洗扁、為耶和華忿怒所傾覆者、

所多瑪王、蛾摩拉王、押瑪王、洗扁王、比拉即瑣珥王、皆出、陳於西訂谷、

耶和華見其民之力已廢、被束者、自由者、靡有孑遺、必為其民伸冤、為其僕回意、

又灰燼所多瑪蛾摩拉二邑、以傾陷定其罪、以為後之不虔者鑒、

又如所多瑪蛾摩拉及四鄰之邑亦效之、縱淫亂、耽異色、則舉以為戒、而受永火之刑、

我傾覆爾中之城邑、若上帝傾覆所多瑪蛾摩拉然、爾如燼木、得拔於火、然爾猶不歸我、耶和華言之矣、

耶和華自天雨火硫於所多瑪、蛾摩拉、於是城邑、平壤、居民、及土所產、無不毀滅、

惟耶和華因與亞伯拉罕以撒雅各所立之約、施恩矜恤之、眷顧之、尚不滅之、不逐之於其前、

既近、見城、則為之哭、曰、倘爾於是日、知關乎平安之事則幸、但今隱於爾目矣、

為之記憶其約、依其厚惠、而回厥意兮、

萬軍之耶和華曰、因我民女如是、我必陶鎔之、煆煉之、否則何以處之、

爾其北往、宣斯語曰、耶和華云、悖逆之以色列歟、爾其歸哉、我乃矜憫、不怒視爾、不永懷憤、耶和華言之矣、

屍仆大邑之衢、斯邑譬之所多瑪與埃及、即其主釘十架之處也、

耶和華回意曰、必免其災、耶和華言之矣、○

彼加苦難、使人憂戚、非其心兮、

耶和華歟、請爾垂顧、我遭苦難、中心慘怛兮、叛逆維甚、衷懷反仄兮、在外喪於鋒刃、居家有若死亡兮、

尚其自天垂顧、自聖且榮之所鑒觀、爾之熱衷大能、而今安在、爾之仁慈矜恤、靳不我施、

遂去其中異族之神、而事耶和華、耶和華因其困苦、中心愀然、

如萬軍之耶和華、不為我儕少留遺民、則必若所多瑪、猶蛾摩拉矣、○爾所多瑪之牧伯、其聽耶和華之言、爾蛾摩拉之人民、側耳聆我上帝之訓、

故萬軍之耶和華、以色列之上帝曰、我指己生而誓、摩押將如所多瑪、亞捫將如蛾摩拉、徧成蒺藜斥鹵之地、永久荒蕪、我之遺民、必虜其人、我之餘民、必據其土、

見所焚之煙、皆遠立、呼曰、孰若此大邑乎、

耶和華回意曰、亦免此災、耶和華言之矣、○

天使向耶路撒冷舉手、將滅之、耶和華悔禍、謂剿民之使曰、足矣、可止爾手、其時耶和華之使者、在耶布斯人亞勞拿之禾場、
