¹¹ 基列人沒有罪孽麼？他們全然是虛假的。人在吉甲獻牛犢為祭，他們的祭壇好像田間犁溝中的亂堆。

¹ 以色列啊，你要歸向耶和華─你的神；你是因自己的罪孽跌倒了。

² 當歸向耶和華，用言語禱告他說：求你除淨罪孽，悅納善行；這樣，我們就把嘴唇的祭代替牛犢獻上。

³ 我們不向亞述求救，不騎埃及的馬，也不再對我們手所造的說：你是我們的神。因為孤兒在你─耶和華那裡得蒙憐憫。

⁴ 我必醫治他們背道的病，甘心愛他們；因為我的怒氣向他們轉消。

⁵ 我必向以色列如甘露；他必如百合花開放，如利巴嫩的樹木扎根。

⁶ 他的枝條必延長；他的榮華如橄欖樹；他的香氣如利巴嫩的香柏樹。

⁷ 曾住在他蔭下的必歸回，發旺如五穀，開花如葡萄樹。他的香氣如利巴嫩的酒。

⁸ 以法蓮必說：我與偶像還有甚麼關涉呢？我─耶和華回答他，也必顧念他。我如青翠的松樹；你的果子從我而得。

⁹ 誰是智慧人，可以明白這些事；誰是通達人，可以知道這一切。因為，耶和華的道是正直的；義人必在其中行走，罪人卻在其上跌倒。

²² And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to inquire of the LORD.

²³ And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and Two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.

²⁴ And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.

²⁵ And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.

²⁶ And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them.
