以法蓮豈非我之愛子、我所悅之赤子乎、我一言之、即顧念之、我心腸為之發矜恤、復加憐憫、此乃主所言、○

主曰、以法蓮乎、我將如何待爾、猶大乎、我將如何待爾、爾之善良、善良或作虔敬猶若朝雲、亦若晨露、立時消散、

耶路撒冷乎、耶路撒冷乎、爾殺先知、石擊奉遣就爾者、我屢欲集爾赤子、似母鷄集雛於翼下、惟爾不欲、

硫磺與鹽、鹽或作硝焚燬徧地、不得耕種、不產物、不生草、如所多瑪、俄摩拉、押瑪、洗扁、主震怒時所傾覆者、

於是所多瑪王、俄摩拉王、押瑪王、洗扁王、及別拉王、別拉即瑣珥、皆出陳於西亭谷、

主見己民無力可恃、自主及僕自主及僕或作成人幼穉俱已消亡、則必為民伸冤、亦復矜恤其僕、或作則必為其民而伸冤為其僕而回志

又擬定傾覆所多瑪及俄摩拉二邑、焚為灰燼、以警後世之惡者、

所多瑪俄摩拉並四周之邑、亦似彼眾行淫、從逆理之慾、遂受火焚之永刑、以為烱戒、

我於爾地傾覆城邑、與昔傾覆所多瑪、俄摩拉無異、使爾如片柴、拔於火中、爾猶不歸誠於我、此乃主所言、

主雨硫磺與火於所多瑪俄摩拉、乃主自天降之、或作主於所多瑪及俄摩拉由主前自天降硫磺與火以城邑平原居民、及地所產之物、盡滅之、

然主因與亞伯拉罕以撒雅各所立之約故、仍施恩於以色列人、矜恤之、眷顧之、不欲盡滅之、尚未逐於其前、

既近見城、為之哭曰、城乎、今猶為爾之日、倘爾於是日、而知關爾平安之事則幸、但此事今隱於爾目矣、

向其追念己約、回心轉意、大發仁慈、

故萬有之主如是云、我民若此、我何以處之乎、必陶鎔之、試鍊之、

爾往北方、宣告此言曰、主云背叛之以色列歸哉、我不復向爾震奴、蓋我以矜憫為懷、不常含忿、此乃主所言、

屍仆大邑之街衢、斯邑可喻所多瑪與伊及、即我主釘十字架之處、

主乃回厥志曰、此災可免、

主使世人受苦懷憂、非其本心、非其本心或作非其心所欲

我遭患難、求主眷顧、我腸焦枯、我腸焦枯或作中心慘慘我心顛倒、顛倒或作翻動皆因悖逆主、在外外或作街有鋒刃殺戮、在內內或作家亦若死亡、亦若死亡或作有疫癘

今求主自天垂顧、自主至聖榮光之居所俯視、主之熱中、及主之大能於今安在、主之仁慈矜憫、向我止而不施、

遂從其中除外邦之神、而奉事主、主因以色列人困苦已極、中心不忍、

若萬有之主、不為我儕少有所遺、則必如所多瑪然、與俄摩拉無異矣、爾所多瑪之侯伯、當聽主言、爾俄摩拉之民、當傾耳聽我天主之訓、

萬有之主以色列之天主曰、我指己永生而誓、摩押必若所多瑪、亞捫族必若俄摩拉、蒺藜叢生、斥鹵遍地、蒺藜叢生斥鹵遍地或作必成長蒺藜有鹽坑之地必恆荒蕪、我之遺民、必掠其貨財、得其地業、我之遺民必掠其貨財得其地業或作我子民之餘者必掠其貨財我百姓之餘者必得其地業

見焚彼之煙、呼曰、何邑能比此大邑乎、

主天主乃回厥志曰、此災亦可免、

天使向耶路撒冷舉手、以滅其居民、以滅其居民原文作以滅之主悔降此災、或作主心回意轉不欲復降此災遂諭滅民之使者曰、今足矣、可止爾手、其時主之使者在耶布斯人亞勞拿之禾場、
