- 以法莲是驯良的母牛犊,喜爱踹谷,我却将轭加在它肥美的颈项上,我要使以法莲拉套(或作被骑)。犹大必耕田,雅各必耙地。
- 你们要为自己栽种公义,就能收割慈爱。现今正是寻求耶和华的时候,你们要开垦荒地,等他临到,使公义如雨降在你们身上。
- 你们耕种的是奸恶,收割的是罪孽,吃的是谎话的果子。因你倚靠自己的行为,仰赖勇士众多。
- 所以在这民中必有哄囔之声,你一切的保障必被拆毁,就如沙勒幔在争战的日子拆毁伯亚比勒,将其中的母子一同摔死。
- 因他们的大恶,伯特利必使你们遭遇如此。到了黎明,以色列的王必全然灭绝。

- And Ephraim is as an heifer that is taught, and loveth to tread out the corn; but I passed over upon her fair neck: I will make Ephraim to ride; Judah shall plow, and Jacob shall break his clods.
- Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.
- Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of lies: because thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men.
- Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people, and all thy fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Betharbel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces upon her children.
- So shall Bethel do unto you because of your great wickedness: in a morning shall the king of Israel utterly be cut off.
