1
以色列啊，你要归向耶和华─你的神；你是因自己的罪孽跌倒了。
2
当归向耶和华，用言语祷告他说：求你除净罪孽，悦纳善行；这样，我们就把嘴唇的祭代替牛犊献上。
3
我们不向亚述求救，不骑埃及的马，也不再对我们手所造的说：你是我们的神。因为孤儿在你─耶和华那里得蒙怜悯。
4
我必医治他们背道的病，甘心爱他们；因为我的怒气向他们转消。
5
我必向以色列如甘露；他必如百合花开放，如利巴嫩的树木扎根。
6
他的枝条必延长；他的荣华如橄榄树；他的香气如利巴嫩的香柏树。
7
曾住在他荫下的必归回，发旺如五谷，开花如葡萄树。他的香气如利巴嫩的酒。
8
以法莲必说：我与偶像还有甚麽关涉呢？我─耶和华回答他，也必顾念他。我如青翠的松树；你的果子从我而得。
9
谁是智慧人，可以明白这些事；谁是通达人，可以知道这一切。因为，耶和华的道是正直的；义人必在其中行走，罪人却在其上跌倒。
11. Whatsoever things he saw signifies their understanding enlightened. This is evident from the signification of "seeing," as being to understand (See Arcana Coelestia, n. 2150, 2325, 2807, 3764, 3863, 3869, 4403-4421, 10705); here, to understand from enlightenment, because the things of the church and of heaven are treated of, which are not understood and perceived except from enlightenment; for things of the church and of heaven, which are called spiritual things, do not enter into man's understanding, except by means of the light of heaven, and the light of heaven enlightens the understanding. For this reason the Word, in which are contained the things of the church and of heaven, cannot be understood except by one who is enlightened, and those only are enlightened who are in the affection of truth from good, thus who are in love to the Lord and in charity towards the neighbor. This good is spiritual good, with which and from which is the light of heaven, which enlightens.
