他们投奔亚述，如同独行的野驴；以法莲贿买朋党。

野驢其風、放佚曠野、牝求其牡、孰能禁之、追之徒勞、迨其既定、仍必遇之。

居恆之時、人以金予娼、惟爾以金贈於所懽、使四方咸歸、爾與他婦行淫、本甚懸殊、無人從爾、予以爾金、爾反以金予人、若是則爾與他婦不同可知矣、

以法蓮族無知、蠢然若鴿、或呼埃及人、或就亞述人望其扶持、

以法蓮、猶大知被毀傷、則以法蓮遣人至亞述、求救於敵國之王、而不能療其疾、

亞述王卜來攻斯土、米拿現以金一百五十萬饋卜、請其輔助、鞏固其國。

以法蓮族詭詐暴虐、日甚一日、與亞述人結約、貢油於埃及、猶之餐風而追東風、

牲畜輜重、適彼南方、頻更患難、有牝獅猛獅、又有毒蛇、且能飛騰、所有貨財、載於驢肩、負於駝背、以饋於不能益己之民、

誰使野驢不受縶維、居曠野、處鹵地、邑眾之譁不畏、驅者之聲不顧、遊原隰、食草萊者、非我乎。

俾其所懽、咸知其淫行、援手無人、

此子之母狥欲、所作之事、言之甚醜、彼曰、我之所懽、予我飲食、贈我枲綿、饋我酒油、我必從之、故我圍以藩籬、使不得出、築以垣墉、使不得踰、彼欲從所懽、而不能、遍索弗得、遂曰我憶昔所懽、其贈余者、多於今日、故必歸之、

亞何拉於歸之後、戀愛鄰邦亞述人、與之行淫。亞述人衣紫顯爵之宦、有能之輩、岐嶷男子、乘馬而至。亞何拉見亞述丁男、戀愛殊深、與之行淫、崇其偶像、染其污衊。當其盛年、在埃及行淫、為男擁抱、自玷厥躬、及其中年、猶不悛改、故我付之於所懽亞述人手、
