你用口吹角吧！敌人如鹰来攻打耶和华的家，因为这民违背了我的约，干犯了我的律法。
A trumpet to your lips! / Like an eagle he comes against the house of Jehovah, / Because they have trespassed My covenant / And have transgressed against My law.

他们必呼叫我说，我的神啊，我们以色列认识你了。
They will cry unto Me, / My God, we — Israel — know You.

以色列丢弃良善，仇敌必追逼他。
Israel has cast off what is good; / The enemy will pursue him.

他们立君王，却不是由于我；他们立首领，我却不承认。他们用金银为自己制造偶像，以致被剪除。
They have set up kings, but not by Me; / They have set up princes, but I did not acknowledge it. / With their silver and their gold they made / Idols for themselves, / That they might be cut off.

撒玛利亚啊，你的牛犊已经丢弃你！我的怒气向拜牛犊的人发作。他们到几时才能无罪呢？
Your calf has cast you off, O Samaria; / My anger burns against them. / How long will they be incapable of innocence?

这牛犊竟然出于以色列！是匠人所造的，并不是神；撒玛利亚的牛犊，必被打碎。
For from Israel is this! / A workman made it; / Thus it is no God. / The calf of Samaria / Will be shattered to pieces.

他们所种的是风，所收的是旋风。所种的不成禾稼，就是发苗也产不出面，即便产出，外人也必吞吃。
For they have sown wind, / And they will reap a whirlwind. / It has no stalk; should there be a sprout, / It will not produce flour; / If it should produce, / Strangers will swallow it up.

以色列被吞吃；他们现今在列国中，好像人不喜悦的器皿。
Israel has been swallowed up; / Now they have become among the nations / Like a vessel in which no one takes pleasure.

因为他们上亚述去，如同独行的野驴；以法莲有雇来的爱人。
For they have gone up to Assyria / Like a wild ass gone alone by itself; / Ephraim has hired lovers.

他们虽在列邦中雇了这样的人，现在我却要聚集他们；他们因君王和首领所加的重担，必渐渐衰微。
Indeed though they have hired such among the nations, / I will now gather them; / And they will begin to be diminished because of the burden / Of the king of the princes.

以法莲筑了许多祭坛取罪，因此，祭坛使他犯罪。
Because Ephraim has multiplied altars for sin, / Altars will be to him for sin.

我为他写了律法万条，却被看如外人的事。
I wrote for him the ten thousand things of My law, / But they are considered as a strange thing.

至于献给我的祭物，他们虽然宰献祭牲并吃祭肉，耶和华却不悦纳他们。现在祂必想起他们的罪孽，惩罚他们的罪；他们必归回埃及。
As for the sacrifices of My offerings, / They sacrifice flesh and eat it, / But Jehovah has no delight in them. / Now He will remember their iniquity, / And He will punish their sins; / They will return to Egypt.

以色列忘记造他的主，建造宫殿，犹大多造坚固城；我却要降火焚烧他的城邑，烧灭其中的宫殿。
For Israel has forgotten his Maker / And has built palaces, / And Judah has multiplied fortified cities; / But I will send fire into his cities, / And it will devour its citadels.
