以色列和犹大不思悔改

来吧,让我们归向耶和华!
祂撕裂我们,也必医治我们;
祂击打我们,也必为我们裹伤。
过两天,祂必复兴我们;
第三天,祂必使我们站立起来,
在祂面前存活。
让我们认识耶和华,
竭力认识耶和华!
祂必到来,
如同必然显露的曙光,
又如滋润大地的春雨。

耶和华说:
“以法莲啊,我该怎样待你呢?
犹大啊,我该怎样待你呢?
你们对我的爱像晨雾,
如转瞬即逝的朝露。
所以,我差遣先知用我的话杀戮你们,
我的审判必如闪电临到你们。
我喜爱怜悯之心,而非祭物;
我喜爱人认识我,胜于燔祭。
可是,你们却如亚当一样背约,
以诡诈待我。
基列是罪恶之城,
到处血迹斑斑。
祭司如同暗中抢劫的强盗,
成群结伙地作恶,
在通往示剑的路上谋害无辜。
10 我在以色列家看见了可怕之事,
以法莲不忠不贞,玷污了自己。
11 犹大啊,
你必得到我给你定的下场[a]

“每当我要使子民复兴的时候,

以色列和猶大不思悔改

來吧,讓我們歸向耶和華!
祂撕裂我們,也必醫治我們;
祂擊打我們,也必為我們裹傷。
過兩天,祂必復興我們;
第三天,祂必使我們站立起來,
在祂面前存活。
讓我們認識耶和華,
竭力認識耶和華!
祂必到來,
如同必然顯露的曙光,
又如滋潤大地的春雨。

耶和華說:
「以法蓮啊,我該怎樣待你呢?
猶大啊,我該怎樣待你呢?
你們對我的愛像晨霧,
如轉瞬即逝的朝露。
所以,我差遣先知用我的話殺戮你們,
我的審判必如閃電臨到你們。
我喜愛憐憫之心,而非祭物;
我喜愛人認識我,勝於燔祭。
可是,你們卻如亞當一樣背約,
以詭詐待我。
基列是罪惡之城,
到處血跡斑斑。
祭司如同暗中搶劫的強盜,
成群結夥地作惡,
在通往示劍的路上謀害無辜。
10 我在以色列家看見了可怕之事,
以法蓮不忠不貞,玷污了自己。

你必得到我給你定的下場[a]

Israel Unrepentant

“Come, let us return(A) to the Lord.
He has torn us to pieces(B)
    but he will heal us;(C)
he has injured us
    but he will bind up our wounds.(D)
After two days he will revive us;(E)
    on the third day(F) he will restore(G) us,
    that we may live in his presence.
Let us acknowledge the Lord;
    let us press on to acknowledge him.
As surely as the sun rises,
    he will appear;
he will come to us like the winter rains,(H)
    like the spring rains that water the earth.(I)

“What can I do with you, Ephraim?(J)
    What can I do with you, Judah?
Your love is like the morning mist,
    like the early dew that disappears.(K)
Therefore I cut you in pieces with my prophets,
    I killed you with the words of my mouth(L)
    then my judgments go forth like the sun.[a](M)
For I desire mercy, not sacrifice,(N)
    and acknowledgment(O) of God rather than burnt offerings.(P)
As at Adam,[b] they have broken the covenant;(Q)
    they were unfaithful(R) to me there.
Gilead is a city of evildoers,(S)
    stained with footprints of blood.
As marauders lie in ambush for a victim,(T)
    so do bands of priests;
they murder(U) on the road to Shechem,
    carrying out their wicked schemes.(V)
10 I have seen a horrible(W) thing in Israel:
    There Ephraim is given to prostitution,
    Israel is defiled.(X)

11 “Also for you, Judah,
    a harvest(Y) is appointed.
