- Cut off from Babylon the sower, and the reaper with his sickle at harvest. Because of the sword of the oppressor let everyone return to his own people, let everyone flee to his own land.
- "Israel is a scattered flock that lions have chased away. The first to devour him was the king of Assyria; the last to crush his bones was Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon."
- Therefore this is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: "I will punish the king of Babylon and his land as I punished the king of Assyria.
- But I will bring Israel back to his own pasture and he will graze on Carmel and Bashan; his appetite will be satisfied on the hills of Ephraim and Gilead.
- In those days, at that time," declares the LORD, "search will be made for Israel's guilt, but there will be none, and for the sins of Judah, but none will be found, for I will forgive the remnant I spare.

- 你們要將巴比倫撒種的、和收割時拿鐮刀的、都剪除了.他們各人、因怕欺壓的刀劍、必歸回本族、逃到本土。
- 以色列是打散的羊、是被獅子趕出的.首先是亞述王將他吞滅、末後是巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒將他的骨頭折斷。
- 所以萬軍之耶和華以色列的 神如此說、我必罰巴比倫王、和他的地、像我從前罰亞述王一樣。
- 我必再領以色列回他的草場.他必在迦密和巴珊喫草、又在以法蓮山上、和基列境內、得以飽足。
- 耶和華說、當那日子、那時候、雖尋以色列的罪孽、一無所有.雖尋猶大的罪惡、也無所見.因為我所留下的人、我必赦免。
