耶和华说：“昔日我看见以色列时，像在荒野看见葡萄；看见你们的祖先时，像在无花果树上看见初熟的果子。但他们却祭拜巴力·毗珥，把自己献给可耻的偶像，变得像他们所爱的偶像一样可憎。

主说：“我遇见以色列如葡萄在旷野；我看见你们的列祖如无花果树上春季初熟的果子。他们却来到巴力毗珥专拜那可羞耻的，就成为可憎恶的，与他们所爱的一样。

我发现以色列，如在旷野的葡萄；我看见你们的祖先，如春季无花果树上初熟的果子。他们却来到巴力‧毗珥，献上自己做羞耻的事，成为可憎恶的，与他们所爱的一样。

我发现以色列，如在旷野的葡萄；我看见你们的祖先，如春季无花果树上初熟的果子。他们却来到巴力‧毗珥，献上自己做羞耻的事，成为可憎恶的，与他们所爱的一样。

“我遇见以色列，好像在旷野里遇见葡萄。我看见你们的列祖，像看见无花果树初熟的果子。他们却来到巴力．毗珥，专作羞耻的事，成为可憎恶的，像他们所爱的偶像一样。

主說：我遇見以色列如葡萄在曠野；我看見你們的列祖如無花果樹上春季初熟的果子。他們卻來到巴力‧毗珥專拜那可羞恥的，就成為可憎惡的，與他們所愛的一樣。

我發現以色列，如在曠野的葡萄；我看見你們的祖先，如春季無花果樹上初熟的果子。他們卻來到巴力‧毗珥，獻上自己做羞恥的事，成為可憎惡的，與他們所愛的一樣。

我發現以色列，如在曠野的葡萄；我看見你們的祖先，如春季無花果樹上初熟的果子。他們卻來到巴力‧毗珥，獻上自己做羞恥的事，成為可憎惡的，與他們所愛的一樣。

耶和華說：「昔日我看見以色列時，像在荒野看見葡萄；看見你們的祖先時，像在無花果樹上看見初熟的果子。但他們卻祭拜巴力·毗珥，把自己獻給可恥的偶像，變得像他們所愛的偶像一樣可憎。

“我遇見以色列，好像在曠野裡遇見葡萄。我看見你們的列祖，像看見無花果樹初熟的果子。他們卻來到巴力．毘珥，專作羞恥的事，成為可憎惡的，像他們所愛的偶像一樣。

我發現了以色列像葡萄在曠野裏；我看見你們的祖先像無花果樹上先熟的果子、頭一季出的。他們卻到巴力毘珥、自己「分別為聖」歸於巴力，成為可憎惡，像他們所愛的偶像一樣；

我遇以色列、若遇葡萄於曠野、見爾列祖、如見無花果樹初熟之果、然彼就巴力毘珥、自奉於可恥之物、成為可憎、如其所愛者然、

上帝曰、昔我得以色列族、如曠野遇葡萄、視爾列祖、如初熟之無花果、然彼往巴力比耳、崇拜可惡之物、我於是痛絕之、與所崇之物無異、

主曰、昔我得以色列族、如葡萄在曠野、視爾列祖、如在無花果樹初熟之果、然彼就巴力毘珥、專心崇拜可恥之物、遂為可憎、與所崇之物無異、

“ When I found Israel, it was like finding grapes in the desert; when I saw your ancestors, it was like seeing the early fruit on the fig tree. But when they came to Baal Peor, they consecrated themselves to that shameful idol and became as vile as the thing they loved.

The Lord says,“ When I first found Israel, it was like finding grapes in the desert. When I saw your people of long ago, it was like seeing the early fruit on a fig tree. But then they went to Baal Peor. There they gave themselves to that shameful god named Baal. They became as evil as the god they loved.

Like grapes in the wilderness, I found Israel. Like the first fruit on the fig tree in its first season, I saw your fathers. But they came to Baal-peor and consecrated themselves to the thing of shame, and became detestable like the thing they loved.

The Lord says,“ O Israel, when I first found you, it was like finding fresh grapes in the desert. When I saw your ancestors, it was like seeing the first ripe figs of the season. But then they deserted me for Baal peor, giving themselves to that shameful idol. Soon they became vile, as vile as the god they worshiped.

I discovered Israel like grapes in the wilderness. I saw your ancestors like the first fruit of the fig tree in its first season. But they went to Baal-peor, consecrated themselves to Shame, and became abhorrent, like the thing they loved.

I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your forefathers as the earliest fruit on the fig tree in its first season. But they came to Baal peor and devoted themselves to shame, And they became as detestable as that which they loved.

“ I found Israel Like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers As the firstfruits on the fig tree in its first season. But they went to Baal Peor, And separated themselves to that shame; They became an abomination like the thing they loved.

I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the first- ripe in the fig- tree at its first season: but they came to Baal- peor, and consecrated themselves unto the shameful thing, and became abominable like that which they loved.

但我不会因此而惩罚她们，因为你们也与娼妓苟合，与庙妓一起献祭。无知的民族必走向灭亡。

犹大啊，你的神明多如你的城邑，你给可憎的巴力烧香的祭坛多如耶路撒冷的街道。

我真悲惨！就像夏天的果子已被收尽，葡萄已被摘净，找不到一串可吃的，寻不见我心中渴望的初熟无花果。

“你去告诉耶路撒冷人，‘耶和华说，我记得你们年轻时对我充满热情，爱我如新娘爱新郎，跟随我穿越旷野，穿越不毛之地。以色列是耶和华的圣民，是属于祂的初熟果子。吞吃它的必担当罪责，大祸临头。这是耶和华说的。’”

“‘然而，他们却背叛我，不听我的话，没有除去他们祭拜的可憎之物和埃及的偶像。我本想在埃及向他们发烈怒，倾倒我的怒火，

他们在毗珥祭拜巴力，吃献给假神的祭物。他们的所作所为触怒耶和华，以致瘟疫降在他们中间，

我要把葡萄园赐给她，使灾祸之谷成为希望之门。她要在那里快乐地歌唱，如在妙龄时的日子，如从埃及出来之时。”

以色列人驻扎在什亭期间，有些人与摩押女子行淫。那些女子邀他们参加祭祀，他们吃了祭物，并跪拜她们的神明，结果使以色列与巴力·毗珥苟合。耶和华大怒，对摩西说：“把为首的人都抓起来，当着我的面在大白天处死他们，以消除我对以色列人的怒气。”于是，摩西对以色列的审判官说：“你们各自把权下与巴力·毗珥苟合的人处死。”摩西和以色列全体会众正在会幕门口痛哭的时候，有个以色列人当着他们的面把一个米甸女子带进自家的帐篷。亚伦祭司的孙子、以利亚撒的儿子非尼哈看见了，便起身离开会众，拿着矛枪，跟着进入那人的帐篷，一枪刺透那对男女的腹部。以色列人当中的瘟疫马上止住了，但已有两万四千人死于瘟疫。耶和华对摩西说：“亚伦祭司的孙子、以利亚撒的儿子非尼哈消了我对以色列人的怒气。因为在会众中他与我一样痛恨不贞，我才没有在烈怒中消灭他们。你告诉他，我要赐给他平安的约，使他和他的后代凭此约可以永远做祭司，因为他为我除掉了不贞之人，为以色列人赎了罪。”与米甸女子一同被杀的以色列人名叫心利，是撒路的儿子，是西缅支派的一个族长。被杀的米甸女子名叫哥斯比，她父亲苏珥是米甸人的一个族长。耶和华对摩西说：“你要攻打米甸人，击杀他们。因为他们心存敌意，在毗珥陷害你们，他们的姊妹——米甸首领的女儿哥斯比诱惑你们，她在毗珥事件招来瘟疫之日被杀。”

你们亲眼看见耶和华在巴力·毗珥事件中的作为，你们的上帝耶和华毁灭了你们中间所有拜巴力·毗珥的人，

他们来到以实各谷，在那里砍下一根葡萄枝，上面有一串葡萄，由两个人用杠子抬着，又采了一些石榴和无花果。因为他们在那里砍了一串葡萄，所以就称那地方为以实各谷。

你们献上带酵的饼作感恩祭，并且到处夸耀你们自愿献的祭。以色列人啊，这就是你们爱做的事。这是主耶和华说的。

“在荒凉的旷野，在野兽吼叫的荒野，耶和华找到他们，庇护他们，看顾他们，保护他们如同保护眼中的瞳仁，

那肥美山谷上将残的荣美之花，必像夏季到来之前早熟的无花果，人一看见它就把它摘去吞掉。

他不但步尼八的儿子耶罗波安的后尘，还娶了西顿王叶巴力的女儿耶洗别为妻，供奉、祭拜巴力。

“逃脱刀兵之灾的以色列人必在旷野蒙恩，找到安息之所。这是耶和华说的。”

穗子是用来提醒他们要遵行我的一切命令，不要随从自己心中和眼目的情欲，以免玷污自己。

他们祭拜的不是真神，而是鬼魔，是他们素不认识的新神明，是他们祖先所不敬畏的。

因此，那天他们称基甸为耶路·巴力，意思是“让巴力为自己辩护”，因为他拆毁了巴力的祭坛。

耶和华说：“以色列年幼时，我就爱他，视他为儿子，把他从埃及召出来。

做了现在想起来也觉得羞耻的事，得到了什么益处呢？那些事只能导致死亡！

就是先知说假预言，祭司滥用权力，我的子民却以此为乐。但当最后的结局来临时，他们还能做什么呢？

‘我怎样对付埃及人，你们都看见了，我好像鹰一样把你们背在翅膀上带到我这里。现在，倘若你们认真听从我的话，遵守我的约，就必在万民中做我的子民，因为普天下都是我的。你们要归于我，作祭司之国、圣洁之邦。这些话你要告诉以色列人。’”

因此我就任凭他们顽固不化，为所欲为。
