“ Ephraim is like a dove, easily deceived and senseless— now calling to Egypt, now turning to Assyria.

The Lord says,“ The people of Ephraim are like a dove. They are easily tricked. They do not have any sense at all. First they call out to Egypt for help. Then they turn to Assyria.

Ephraim is like a dove, silly and without sense, calling to Egypt, going to Assyria.

And Ephraim is like a silly dove, without understanding: they call unto Egypt, they go to Assyria.

以法蓮、猶大知被毀傷、則以法蓮遣人至亞述、求救於敵國之王、而不能療其疾、

以法蓮族詭詐暴虐、日甚一日、與亞述人結約、貢油於埃及、猶之餐風而追東風、

淫行酒醴、喪人心術、

彼將疾趨、至自埃及、如鳥之翔、來自亞述、若鴿之飛、俾居厥所、我耶和華已言之矣。

耶和華之地、不容爾居、以法蓮必往埃及、在亞述食不潔之物、

淫人妻者、必無智慧、己之生命、因以喪亡。

亞述王撒馬尼斯攻何西、何西臣服納貢、厥後蓄異謀、遣使與埃及王瑣通好、歲貢之物不復進納、亞述王知而禁錮之、

愚者得金、何益之有、蓋使市智慧、而念不及此。

耶和華曰、悖逆者流、惟設計謀、不仰望予、灌奠以要約、感予神者、弗順從之、其罪益深、禍將及矣、彼不諮諏我意、乃往埃及、藉法老之勢力、望埃及之庇蔭、爾惟法老之勢力是恃、埃及之庇蔭是賴、則必含羞蒙恥、牧伯至鎖安國、使詣哈匿、見二邑之民無益、弗能助理、則愧恧靡已、牲畜輜重、適彼南方、頻更患難、有牝獅猛獅、又有毒蛇、且能飛騰、所有貨財、載於驢肩、負於駝背、以饋於不能益己之民、

棄道者輕生命、聽勸者得聰明。

以色列國必見殲滅、其民必流離於異邦、譬諸器皿、不為所人娛玩、昔以法蓮往亞述、以金贈於所歡、猶之野驢、欲求其牡、

爾何肆志遨遊、重蹈故轍、昔爾維亞述是恃、而蒙愧恥、今爾惟埃及是賴、而抱羞慙。

亞述王卜來攻斯土、米拿現以金一百五十萬饋卜、請其輔助、鞏固其國。

爾今或往埃及、飲西曷之水、或往亞述、飲百辣之水、果何為哉。

人往埃及、求其助己、見車馬眾多、驍騎勇猛、則以之是恃、不恃以色列族之聖主耶和華而求其眷祐、其禍必不遠矣、上帝至明、言出惟行、勃然以興、降災於惡人、凡助惡者、亦降罰焉、埃及之眾、人也、非上帝也、所乘之馬、凡馬也、非神馬也、耶和華舉手降罰、輔翼惡人者、皆顛其趾、為惡人所扶持者、咸遭傾覆、淪胥以亡、

我不求救於亞述、不恃驍騎、不稱所作之像為我上帝、無父之子、惟爾矜憫、
