悖逆之以色列、因其宣淫、為我所出、與以離書、其詭譎之妹猶大、仍不畏懼、往而行淫、我見之矣、

以色列族既背我、狥欲而行、我棄之、與以離書、其姊妹猶大族、屢欺侮予、毫無畏葸、狥欲而行、我鑒察之、彼狥欲特甚、崇拜木石、污衊斯邦、厥後佯為歸誠、心不誠慤。○

背叛之以色列、因行淫為我所逐、予以離書、其妹悖逆之猶大仍不畏懼、亦復行淫、我悉鑒察、

I gave faithless Israel her certificate of divorce and sent her away because of all her adulteries. Yet I saw that her unfaithful sister Judah had no fear; she also went out and committed adultery.

I gave Israel their letter of divorce. I sent them away because they were unfaithful to me so many times. But I saw that their sister nation Judah did not have any respect for me. They were not faithful to me either. They also went out and committed adultery with other gods.

She saw that for all the adulteries of that faithless one, Israel, I had sent her away with a decree of divorce. Yet her treacherous sister Judah did not fear, but she too went and played the whore.

She saw that I divorced faithless Israel because of her adultery. But that treacherous sister Judah had no fear, and now she, too, has left me and given herself to prostitution.

I observed that it was because unfaithful Israel had committed adultery that I had sent her away and had given her a certificate of divorce. Nevertheless, her treacherous sister Judah was not afraid but also went and prostituted herself.

And I saw that for all the adulteries of faithless Israel, I had sent her away and given her a certificate of divorce, yet her treacherous sister Judah did not fear; but she went and prostituted herself also.

Then I saw that for all the causes for which backsliding Israel had committed adultery, I had put her away and given her a certificate of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah did not fear, but went and played the harlot also.

And I saw, when, for this very cause that backsliding Israel had committed adultery, I had put her away and given her a bill of divorcement, yet treacherous Judah her sister feared not; but she also went and played the harlot.

I observed that it was because unfaithful Israel had committed adultery that I had sent her away and had given her a certificate of divorce. Nevertheless, her treacherous sister Judah was not afraid but also went and prostituted herself.

And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.

She also saw that I gave wayward Israel her divorce papers and sent her away because of her adulterous worship of other gods. Even after her unfaithful sister Judah had seen this, she still was not afraid, and she too went and gave herself like a prostitute to other gods.

I saw when, for this very cause, that backsliding Israel had committed adultery, I had put her away and given her a certificate of divorce, yet treacherous Judah, her sister, had no fear; but she also went and played the prostitute.

“人娶了妻子，得著她以後，如果發現她有醜事，以致不喜悅她，他就可以給她寫休書，交在她手裡，叫她離開夫家；

耶和華說：“人若是休妻，妻子離開了他，又嫁了別人，前夫怎能與她復合呢？如果復合，那地不是大大玷污了嗎？你曾與許多情人行淫，還想歸向我。”這是耶和華的宣告。

耶和華這樣說：“我離棄了你們的母親，休書在哪裡呢？或者我的債主中，哪一個是我把你們賣了給他的呢？看哪！你們被賣是因你們的罪孽；你們的母親被離棄是因你們的過犯。

何細亞在位第九年，亞述王佔領了撒瑪利亞，把以色列人擄到亞述去，安置他們在哈臘，在哈博河和歌散河一帶，以及在瑪代人的各城。這是因為以色列人得罪了那曾帶領他們從埃及王法老的手下離開埃及的耶和華他們的神，去敬畏別的神。他們隨從耶和華從以色列人面前驅逐的外族人的風俗，以及以色列諸王奉行的風俗。以色列人暗中做了不對的事，違背耶和華他們的神，並且在他們所有的城市，從哨站到設防城，為他們自己建築邱壇。又在各高山頂上和每一棵青翠的樹下豎立神柱和亞舍拉。他們在各邱壇上獻祭和焚香，好像耶和華從他們的面前擄去的外族人一樣，又行惡事，使耶和華發怒。他們又服事雕刻的偶像，耶和華曾警告他們不可以行這事。耶和華曾藉著他的眾先知和先見警告以色列人和猶大人說：“從你們的惡道上轉回吧！謹守我的吩咐和我的律例，就是我曾吩咐你們的祖先，和藉著我的僕人眾先知傳遞給你們的一切律法。”可是他們不聽從，反而硬著自己的頸項，好像他們的祖先，不信服耶和華他們的神；厭棄他的律例和他與他們的祖先訂立的約，以及他對他們的警戒；卻信從虛無的神，自己成為虛妄，跟從他們周圍的外族人，耶和華曾吩咐他們不可跟從他們的行為。他們丟棄耶和華他們神的一切吩咐，為自己做了兩個牛犢的鑄像，又做亞舍拉，並且敬拜天上的萬象和服事巴力；他們又把兒女用火燒為祭，並且占卜，行法術，出賣自己去行耶和華看為惡的事，使他發怒。於是耶和華向以色列人大大發怒，把他們從自己面前趕走，只剩下猶大一個支派。連猶大人也不持守耶和華他們的神的吩咐，隨從以色列人所行的習俗。

因此我把她交在她的愛人手裡，就是她所戀慕的亞述人手裡。

要與你們的母親爭論，你們要爭論，因為她不是我的妻子，我也不是她的丈夫；好讓她除掉臉上的淫相，和乳間的淫態，免得我把她剝光，赤身露體，使她像剛生下來的那天一樣；又使她像曠野，像無水的旱地一般，叫她因乾渴而死。

以色列啊！你雖然行淫，猶大卻不可犯罪，不要往吉甲去，不要上到伯．亞文，也不要指著永活的耶和華起誓。以色列倔強，好像倔強的母牛，現在耶和華怎樣牧放他們，好像牧放寬闊草場上的羊羔呢？以法蓮和偶像連在一起，任憑他吧！

如果後夫又恨她，也給她寫休書，交在她手裡，叫她離開他的家；或者娶她為妻的後夫死了；

“她妹妹阿荷利巴雖然看見了，卻在自己情慾的事情上比姊姊更腐敗，她的淫亂比姊姊的淫亂更甚。她貪戀亞述人，就是作總督和省長，穿著華美衣服的戰士，騎著馬的騎兵，全都是英俊的年輕人。我看見她被玷污了；她們姊妹兩人所行的路都是一樣。阿荷利巴又繼續行淫；她看見畫在牆上的人像，就是用鮮紅的顏料所畫的迦勒底人像，這些像的腰間束著腰帶，頭上有下垂的裹頭巾，他們看來像官長，有巴比倫人的樣子，迦勒底是他們出生之地。阿荷利巴的眼一看見，就戀慕他們，派遣使者到迦勒底去見他們。於是巴比倫人來，上了她愛情的床，與她行淫玷污了她；她被他們玷污以後，心就與他們疏遠。她既然顯露了她的淫行，露出了自己的下體，我的心就與她疏遠，好像我的心從前與她姊姊疏遠一樣。她還加倍行淫，懷念她幼年在埃及地行淫的日子。她戀慕她的情人，他們的下體像驢的下體；他們射精像馬一樣。這樣，你就渴想你幼年時的淫蕩；那時，埃及人撫弄過你的乳房，撫摩你年幼時的胸。

“他們的一切罪惡都在吉甲，我在那裡憎恨他們，因他們的惡行，我要把他們從我的家裡趕出來；我不再愛他們，他們的領袖都是叛徒。以法蓮被擊打，他們的根枯乾了，必不能再結果子。即使他們生產，我必殺死他們所生的愛子。”我的神必棄絕他們，因為他們不聽從他；他們必在列國中飄流。

希西家王在位第四年，就是以色列王以拉的兒子何細亞在位第七年，亞述王撒縵以色上來攻擊撒瑪利亞，把城圍困；過了三年，他們就攻取了撒瑪利亞。希西家在位第六年，就是以色列王何細亞在位第九年，撒瑪利亞被攻取了。亞述王把以色列人擄到亞述去，把他們安置在哈臘、哈博河和歌散河，以及瑪代人的城裡；

因為以色列人也要獨居多日；沒有君王，沒有領袖，沒有祭祀，沒有柱像，沒有以弗得，也沒有家中的神像。

你不但行她們所行的，作她們所作的可憎之事，而且你還以那些事為小，你一切所行的比她們更壞。
