'何 西 阿 書 12:1-3' not found for the version: Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version.

斥責雅各和猶大的罪

12 “以法蓮吃風,

整天追趕東風,

增添虛謊和強暴。

他們與亞述結盟,

又給埃及送油。”(本節在《馬索拉文本》為12:2)

耶和華與猶大爭辯;

他必照雅各所行的懲罰他,

按他所作的報應他。

他在母腹中抓住他哥哥的腳跟,

壯年的時候又與 神角力。

12 [a]Ephraim(A) feeds on the wind;(B)
    he pursues the east wind all day
    and multiplies lies and violence.(C)
He makes a treaty with Assyria(D)
    and sends olive oil to Egypt.(E)
The Lord has a charge(F) to bring against Judah;(G)
    he will punish(H) Jacob[b] according to his ways
    and repay him according to his deeds.(I)
In the womb he grasped his brother’s heel;(J)
    as a man he struggled(K) with God.
