作惡者流、當改其行、寢其謀、歸誠耶和華我之上帝、蓋彼矜恤為懷、必赦宥之。

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。

主曰斯民也、雖背逆余、心猶愛之、必息我怒、而醫其疾、

摩押與吉哈喇泄、患難既臨、我心戚戚、若琴聲之哀慘。

我之夫子、入手於牖、我心憫之、

蓋此子、死而復生、失而又得者也、其父與眾共樂、

遂去他上帝、事耶和華。耶和華見以色列族困苦、則中心愀然。

主棄人、不終棄兮。雖令人懷憂、必加矜恤、仁澤靡涯兮、

我體耶穌基督心、戀慕爾曹、上帝鑒之、

彼為我所導、必哭泣禱告而來、我為以色列族之父、以法蓮人為余冢子、我使彼履道坦坦、行於溪畔、無虞顛趾。

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。

予竊自思、能安以為爾赤子、斯土膏腴、列國之民以為佳業、焉能予爾。轉念曰、爾稱予為父、無違逆予、則可。

民曰、上帝與、孰克與爾頡頏、爾之遺民、蹈於罪愆、可蒙赦宥、爾以矜憫為悅、不恆怒余、必復施恩、助予克惡、以我罪愆、棄諸深淵、

譬諸父之恤其子、寅畏之人、耶和華矜憫之兮、

約瑟因弟、中心如焚、急擇一所、潸焉出涕、故入室而哭。

以法蓮乎、我安忍舍爾、以色列乎、我焉肯棄爾、豈能視爾若押馬、敗爾若西編、我回厥志、慈愛之念、頓發於中、我不憤怒降災、不滅以法蓮、我乃上帝、非若世人、我至聖之主、駐蹕於爾中、我不怒爾、

生子之母、中心如焚、告王曰、我主歟、願以生子給之、斷勿加害。其一曰、勿歸於我、勿歸於彼、剖之可也。

蓋耶和華責其所愛、若父之慈其子。

先知曰、摩押與吉哈喇泄貨財既亡、我心戚戚、若簫聲之哀慘、

我之責人、不恆蓄怒、恐予所造之人、膽喪氣餒、彼貪財貨、干我震怒、扑之遠之、彼乃乖戾、不更厥志。我見其所為、我將醫之、導之以行、慰藉其心、以解厥憂。

爾弟死而復生、失而又得、我儕宜喜樂也、
