- 看哪、他們逃避災難、埃及人必收殮他們的屍首、摩弗人必葬埋他們的骸骨.他們用銀子作的美物上必長蒺藜.他們的帳棚中必生荊棘。
- 以色列人必知道降罰的日子臨近、報應的時候來到.(民說、作先知的是愚昧、受靈感的是狂妄.)皆因他們多多作孽、大懷怨恨。
- 以法蓮曾作我 神守望的、至於先知、在他一切的道上作為捕鳥人的網羅、在他 神的家中懷怨恨。
- 以法蓮深深地敗壞、如在基比亞的日子一樣.耶和華必記念他們的罪孽、追討他們的罪惡。
- 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.他們卻來到巴力毘珥專拜那可羞恥的、就成為可憎惡的、與他們所愛的一樣。

- Even if they escape from destruction, Egypt will gather them, and Memphis will bury them. Their treasures of silver will be taken over by briers, and thorns will overrun their tents.
- The days of punishment are coming, the days of reckoning are at hand. Let Israel know this. Because your sins are so many and your hostility so great, the prophet is considered a fool, the inspired man a maniac.
- The prophet, along with my God, is the watchman over Ephraim, yet snares await him on all his paths, and hostility in the house of his God.
- They have sunk deep into corruption, as in the days of Gibeah. God will remember their wickedness and punish them for their sins.
- "When I found Israel, it was like finding grapes in the desert; when I saw your fathers, 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.
