- The LORD said to me, "Faithless Israel is more righteous than unfaithful Judah.
- Go, proclaim this message toward the north: " 'Return, faithless Israel,' declares the LORD, 'I will frown on you no longer, for I am merciful,' declares the LORD, 'I will not be angry forever.
- Only acknowledge your guilt-- you have rebelled against the LORD your God, you have scattered your favors to foreign gods under every spreading tree, and have not obeyed me,' " declares the LORD.
- "Return, faithless people," declares the LORD, "for I am your husband. I will choose you--one from a town and two from a clan--and bring you to Zion.
- Then I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will lead you with knowledge and understanding.

- 耶和华对我说,背道的以色列比奸诈的犹大还显为义。
- 你去向北方宣告说,耶和华说,背道的以色列阿,回来吧。我必不怒目看你们。因为我是慈爱的,我必不永远存怒。这是耶和华说的。
- 只要承认你的罪孽,就是你违背耶和华你的神,在各青翠树下向别神东奔西跑,没有听从我的话。这是耶和华说的。
- 耶和华说,背道的儿女阿,回来吧。因为我作你们的丈夫,并且我必将你们从一城取一人,从一族取两人,带到锡安。
- 我也必将合我心的牧者赐给你们。他们必以知识和智慧牧养你们。
