Messengers went all through Israel and Judah. They carried letters from the king and his officials. The king had ordered them to do that. The letters said,“ People of Israel, return to the Lord. He is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel. Return to him. Then he will return to you who are left in the land. You have escaped from the power of the kings of Assyria.

So couriers went throughout all Israel and Judah with letters from the king and his princes, as the king had commanded, saying,“ O people of Israel, return to the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, that he may turn again to the remnant of you who have escaped from the hand of the kings of Assyria.

Then the runners went throughout all Israel and Judah with the letters from the king and his leaders, and spoke according to the command of the king:“ Children of Israel, return to the Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel; then He will return to the remnant of you who have escaped from the hand of the kings of Assyria.

跑文書的人騎着國事用的快馬，迫於王命，急急忙忙地出發；勅令也在書珊宮堡裏頒布出去。

跑急訊的跑到碰見跑急訊的，報信息的碰到報信息的，去報告巴比倫王知道；他京城已四面被攻取了；

當以色列王比加在位的日子、亞述王提革拉毘列色來奪取以雲、亞伯伯瑪迦、亞挪、基低斯、夏瑣、基列、加利利、和拿弗他利全地；使這些地方的居民都流亡到亞述去。

亞述王提革拉毘尼色上到他那裏，卻使他受困迫，並沒有使他得助力。

『我的日子比跑信的更快；它疾飛過去，不見福樂。

亞述王普勒都常來攻打以色列地；米拿現給了普勒一千擔銀子、請普勒一手幫助、來鞏固國權於手中。

永恆主發神諭說：『以色列啊，你若轉回，轉回來歸我吧！你若從我面前除掉你可憎之像，而不漫遊無拘，

以色列啊，你要回歸永恆主你的上帝，因為你是因你自己的罪孽而傾覆的。

你要對他們說：主永恆主發神諭說：我指着永活的我來起誓：我絕不喜悅惡人死亡；我乃是喜歡惡人回轉離開他的行徑以得活着。回轉吧！回轉！離開你們的壞行徑哦！何必死亡呢、以色列家啊？

『要趁永恆主可找到時尋找他，趁他相近時呼求他。惡人要離棄自己的路；奸惡之輩要棄掉自己的意圖，回轉來歸永恆主，讓永恆主憐憫他，來歸我們的上帝，因為上帝廣行赦免。

故此以色列的上帝激動了亞述王普勒的心、就是亞述王提革拉毘尼色的心，王就使如便人、迦得人、瑪拿西半族派的人流亡到哈臘、哈博、哈拉、和歌散河邊；他們的後裔到今日還在那裏。

永恆主啊，使我們回轉歸你哦，好叫我們有轉機！復新我們的日子，像古時一樣哦！

就使境內的人還有十分之一，他們也必再被消滅。但是像篤耨香樹或橡樹，雖被砍下，仍有樹𣎴子在那裏：』這樹𣎴子、乃是聖的苗裔。

若不是萬軍之永恆主給我們留下一些殘存人，我們就早已像所多瑪，早已跟蛾摩拉一樣了。

永恆主發神諭說：『如今雖如此，你們還要全心全意來歸向我，以禁食哀哭及號咷來返回。你們要撕裂的是心，倒不是衣服。』要回歸永恆主你們的上帝；因為他有恩惠有憐憫，他不輕易發怒，而有豐盛的堅愛，他並且能改變心意、不降災禍。或者他能回轉、改變心意，留下餘剩的祝福，留下獻素祭奠祭給永恆主你們的上帝的機會、也未可知。

你們親近上帝，上帝就親近你們。罪人哪，潔淨你們的手吧；心懷二意的人哪，使你們的心清潔吧。
