Ephraim is a trained heifer that loves to thresh; so I will put a yoke on her fair neck. I will drive Ephraim, Judah must plow, and Jacob must break up the ground.

以色列倔强，犹如倔强的母牛；现在耶和华要放他们，如同放羊羔在宽阔之地。

“抢夺我产业的啊，你们因欢喜快乐，且像踹谷撒欢的母牛犊，又像发嘶声的壮马。

“牛在场上踹谷的时候，不可笼住它的嘴。”

因为这样的人不服侍我们的主基督，只服侍自己的肚腹，用花言巧语诱惑那些老实人的心。

所以，耶和华他的神将他交在亚兰王手里。亚兰王打败他，掳了他许多的民，带到大马士革去。神又将他交在以色列王手里，以色列王向他大行杀戮。利玛利的儿子比加一日杀了犹大人十二万，都是勇士，因为他们离弃了耶和华他们列祖的神。有一个以法莲中的勇士，名叫细基利，杀了王的儿子玛西雅和管理王宫的押斯利甘，并宰相以利加拿。以色列人掳了他们的弟兄，连妇人带儿女共有二十万，又掠了许多的财物，带到撒玛利亚去了。

他们的母亲行了淫乱，怀他们的母做了可羞耻的事，因为她说：‘我要随从所爱的；我的饼、水、羊毛、麻、油、酒都是他们给的。’

那耕地为要撒种的，岂是常常耕地呢？岂是常常开垦耙地呢？

耶和华对我说：“你再去爱一个淫妇，就是她情人所爱的；好像以色列人，虽然偏向别神，喜爱葡萄饼，耶和华还是爱他们。”

以色列啊，不要像外邦人欢喜快乐；因为你行邪淫离弃你的神，在各谷场上如妓女喜爱赏赐。

我用慈绳爱索牵引他们；我待他们如人放松牛的两腮夹板，把粮食放在他们面前。
