她看見為了轉離正道的以色列犯了姦淫的緣故，我把她離出去，並且將離婚書給了她；然而她奸詐的妹妹猶大還不懼怕；她也去行淫。

背道的以色列行淫，我为这缘故给她休书休她；我看见她奸诈的妹妹犹大，还不惧怕，也去行淫。

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、做了那女人的丈夫以後、若因發現妻子有醜事，以致妻子在他眼中不蒙恩愛，他便給她寫了離婚書交在她手中，打發她離開他的家；

永恆主的話傳與我，說：『人若把妻子離出去，而妻子離開他而去，做了別人的妻子，她哪能再回轉來歸前夫呢？那麼那婦人豈不是大大被玷污了麼？然而你，你和許多情人行淫，還要回轉來歸於我？永恆主發神諭說。

永恆主這麼說：你們母親的離婚書、我用來送她走的證件、在哪裏呢？或是說：哪一個是我的債主，我把你們賣給他呢？看哪，你們被賣、是因你們的罪孽；你們的母親被送走、是因你們的過犯。

何細亞九年、亞述王攻取了撒瑪利亞，使以色列人流亡到亞述，住在哈臘和歌散的哈博河邊、跟瑪代人的城市。這是因為以色列人犯罪得罪了那領他們從埃及地上來、使他們脫離埃及王法老手下的、永恆主他們的上帝、去敬畏別的神，隨從永恆主從以色列人面前所驅逐的外國人的規例、和以色列諸王所立的條規。以色列人暗暗地行了不對的事、違背永恆主他們的上帝，在他們所有的城市、從瞭望人的譙樓、到有堡壘的城、他們都築了邱壇；又在各高岡上、各茂盛樹下、立了崇拜柱子和亞舍拉神木；就在那裏在邱壇上燻祭，正像永恆主從他們面前所擄走的外國人所行的一樣；他們又行壞事來惹永恆主發怒；並服事偶像、就是永恆主曾對他們說：『不可行這事』的。但是永恆主由眾神言人眾先見者經手、屢次警諭以色列人和猶大人說：『應當轉離你們罪的壞行徑，謹守我的誡命律例，照我一切的律法去行，就是我所吩咐你們列祖、並由我僕人神言人們經手傳給你們的。』他們卻不聽，竟硬着脖子，像他們那些不信服永恆主他們的上帝、的列祖硬着脖子一樣；他們棄絕了永恆主的律例和他跟他們列祖所立的約，又棄絕了他所警諭他們的話，去隨從虛無的神，而成為虛妄，又隨從他們四圍的外國人、就是永恆主曾吩咐不可照他們的樣子行的。他們撇棄了永恆主他們的上帝一切的誡命，竟為自己造了兩個牛犢的鑄像，又造了亞舍拉神木，去敬拜天上的萬象，又事奉巴力。他們將自己的兒女用火燒獻為祭，又占卜，又觀兆頭，又出賣自己、去行永恆主所看為壞的事，而惹他發怒。因此永恆主很惱怒以色列人，便將他們從自己面前除掉，只剩下猶大一個族派而已。猶大人也這樣；不謹守永恆主他們的上帝的誡命，反而遵行以色列人所立的例。

因此我將她交於她所愛的人手中，她所戀愛的亞述人手中。

要跟你們的母親大大爭辯——因為她不是我的妻子，我也不是她的丈夫——要叫她除掉她臉上的淫相，和她胸間的姦淫態；免得我把她剝光，使她像才生的日子一樣，免得我使她如曠野，使她如乾旱之地，而以乾渴殺死她。

以色列啊，你雖然行淫，別讓猶大「有罪」哦。不要往吉甲去，不要上伯亞文，也不要指着永活的永恆主來起誓。唉，以色列倔強，猶如倔強母牛；現在永恆主要牧養他們像牧養羔羊在寬闊之地麼？以法蓮和偶像聯姻，任憑他吧！

這以後的丈夫也不愛她，也給她寫了離婚書，交在她手中，打發她離開他的家；或者娶她為妻的這以後的丈夫死了；

『她妹妹阿荷利巴雖看見了，妹妹之鬧戀愛卻比她姐姐更腐敗，她的邪淫卻比她姐姐的邪淫更厲害。她戀愛了亞述人，做總督做省長的、穿着全副軍裝的戰士、騎着馬的兵，都是可愛之青年人。我看見她被玷污了：她們姐妹兩個人都同走一條路。但阿荷利巴又增加她的邪淫；她看見人像畫在牆上，就是用銀硃所畫迦勒底人的像，腰間繫着圍腰服，頭上有下垂的裹頭巾，都是軍官形狀，巴比倫人的樣式；他們出生之地是迦勒底。阿荷利巴一眼看見，就戀愛了他們，打發使者到迦勒底去見他們。巴比倫人就來，登了愛情的床，以他們的淫行玷污了她；她被他們玷污了之後，心裏竟跟他們疏遠起來。她既露現了她的淫行，露現了她的下體，我的心就對她疏遠，正如我的心對她姐姐疏隔一樣。然而她還增加她的邪淫，懷念着她幼年的日子，那時她在埃及地躭於邪淫，戀愛了她的情人，其下身像驢的下身，其射精、如馬之射精。這樣、你就探求着你幼年時的淫蕩生活；那時埃及人撫摩了你的奶頭，擠壓了你年幼的胸部。』

他們的壞事都在吉甲；在那裏我開始恨惡他們；因其行為之敗壞我必趕逐他們離開我家；不再憐愛他們；他們的首領都是悖逆的。以法蓮受擊打，他們的根枯乾了，果子結不了啦；就使生產了，我也必殺死他們所愛的胎兒。我的上帝必棄絕他們，因為他們不聽從他；他們必成了流離飄蕩於列國中的。

希西家王四年、就是以色列王以拉的兒子何細亞七年、亞述王撒縵以色上來攻擊撒瑪利亞，圍困它。過了三年、就攻取了它。希西家六年、以色列王何細亞九年、撒瑪利亞被攻取了。亞述王使以色列人流亡到亞述，把他們安置在哈臘和歌散的哈博河邊、跟瑪代人的城市；

因為以色列人也要許多年日過着靜居守己的生活；沒有王、沒有首領、沒有祭祀、沒有聖柱、沒有以弗得、沒有家神像。

你不是只按他們所行的而行，不是只照他們可厭惡之事去作；你乃是以那為小可；故此你一切所行的居然比她們更腐壞。
