“ How can I give you up, Ephraim? How can I hand you over, Israel? How can I treat you like Admah? How can I make you like Zeboyim? My heart is changed within me; all my compassion is aroused.

The Lord continues,“ People of Ephraim, how can I give you up? Israel, how can I hand you over to your enemies? Can I destroy you as I did the town of Admah? Can I treat you like Zeboyim? My heart is stirred inside me. It is filled with pity for you.

How can I give you up, O Ephraim? How can I hand you over, O Israel? How can I make you like Admah? How can I treat you like Zeboiim? My heart recoils within me; my compassion grows warm and tender.

“ 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.

How can I give you up, Ephraim? How can I surrender you, Israel? How can I make you like Admah? How can I treat you like Zeboiim? I have had a change of heart; my compassion is stirred!

How can I give you up, Ephraim? How can I surrender you, Israel? How can I make you like Admah? How can I treat you like Zeboiim? My heart is turned over within Me, All My compassions are kindled.

耶和華曰、以法蓮豈非我之赤子、我所眷愛者哉、予責之、輒生憐念、予矜憫為懷、復加以撫恤。

主曰、以法蓮猶大、我將何如視爾、爾之敬虔、有若朝雲、立見其散、有若晨露、立見其晞、

耶路撒冷乎、耶路撒冷乎、爾殺先知、石擊奉使者、我欲集爾赤子、似母鷄集雛翼下、已幾何時、惟爾不欲、

硫磺及鹽、焚燬徧地、不得耕耘、無物產、無草萊、如所多馬、蛾摩拉、押馬、西編、為耶和華所怒、而使之傾覆者、

時所多馬王、蛾摩拉王、押馬王、西編王、庇拉即瑣耳王、皆出陳於西亭谷、

蓋耶和華必代其民而伸冤、為其臣而回志、鑒觀於下、知民力已廢、或主或僕、靡有孑遺。

所多馬蛾摩拉二邑、上帝擬定其罪而滅之、變為瓦礫、以警後世之惡者、

所多馬蛾摩拉與周鄰數邑、同淫亂、荒於色、俱有常刑、爇之以火、以垂炯戒、

耶和華又曰、昔我上帝傾圮所多馬蛾摩拉、爾中數人、亦遭隕越、其餘得救、如脫於火、爾尚不歸誠於我、

耶和華自天雨火硫於所多馬蛾摩拉、由是邑垣、平壤、民生、植物、無不盡滅。

耶和華念與亞伯拉罕以撒雅各所立之約、故待以色列族仁慈矜恤、不欲盡滅、驅於其前。

既近、見城、哭、曰、今猶為爾日、及是時、而知關爾平安之事、則幸、過此、隱於爾目矣、

追念聖約、體恤倍至、矜憫靡涯兮。

萬有之主耶和華又曰、我將何以處我民、必煆煉之而後可。

爾往北方、揚聲播告曰、耶和華曰、爾以色列族背予、今當歸誠、蓋余矜憫為懷、不常蓄怒、必眷顧爾。

屍仆大邑衢路、昔吾主釘十字架之處、其與所多馬埃及也、將毋同、

耶和華乃回厥志、曰、此災可免。

主責民、非其心兮。

我蹈重愆、外遭殺戮、內則死亡兮、予也懷憂特甚、中心慘怛、望耶和華眷顧兮。

主居穹蒼、聖殿輝煌、昔則熱中、展其大能、矜憫為懷、今也何靳爾恩、請俯視予。

遂去他上帝、事耶和華。耶和華見以色列族困苦、則中心愀然。

民曰、如萬有之主耶和華、不俾我眾猶有孑遺、則必若所多馬、蛾摩拉矣。曰、爾曹與所多馬之君長、蛾摩拉之民人無異、宜聽上帝耶和華之命。

故我以色列族之上帝、萬有之主耶和華、指己而誓、摩押必若所多馬、亞捫必若蛾摩拉、荊棘叢生、斥鹵遍地、恆必荒蕪、我之遺民、必虜其貨財、得其基業、

見厥火炎炎、呼曰、誰能與大邑比儗乎、

耶和華乃回厥志、曰、此災可免、

天使在耶路撒冷、舉手欲擊都城、耶和華怒息、諭勦民之天使曰、足矣、可止爾手。其時天使在耶布士人。亞勞拿之穀場。
