I gave faithless Israel her certificate of divorce and sent her away because of all her adulteries. Yet I saw that her unfaithful sister Judah had no fear; she also went out and committed adultery.

I gave Israel their letter of divorce. I sent them away because they were unfaithful to me so many times. But I saw that their sister nation Judah did not have any respect for me. They were not faithful to me either. They also went out and committed adultery with other gods.

She saw that for all the adulteries of that faithless one, Israel, I had sent her away with a decree of divorce. Yet her treacherous sister Judah did not fear, but she too went and played the whore.

She saw that I divorced faithless Israel because of her adultery. But that treacherous sister Judah had no fear, and now she, too, has left me and given herself to prostitution.

I observed that it was because unfaithful Israel had committed adultery that I had sent her away and had given her a certificate of divorce. Nevertheless, her treacherous sister Judah was not afraid but also went and prostituted herself.

「人若娶妻以後，見她有甚麼不合理的事，不喜悅她，就可以寫休書交在她手中，打發她離開夫家。 (cunpt)

有話說：人若休妻，妻離他而去，作了別人的妻，前夫豈能再收回她來？若收回她來，那地豈不是大大玷污了嗎？但你和許多親愛的行邪淫，還可以歸向我。這是耶和華說的。 (cunpt)

耶和華如此說：我休你們的母親，休書在哪裏呢？我將你們賣給我哪一個債主呢？你們被賣，是因你們的罪孽；你們的母親被休，是因你們的過犯。 (cunpt)

何細亞第九年亞述王攻取了撒馬利亞，將以色列人擄到亞述，把他們安置在哈臘與歌散的哈博河邊，並米底亞人的城邑。這是因以色列人得罪那領他們出埃及地、脫離埃及王法老手的耶和華－他們的神，去敬畏別神，隨從耶和華在他們面前所趕出外邦人的風俗和以色列諸王所立的條規。以色列人暗中行不正的事，違背耶和華－他們的神，在他們所有的城邑，從瞭望樓直到堅固城，建築邱壇；在各高岡上、各青翠樹下立柱像和木偶；在邱壇上燒香，效法耶和華在他們面前趕出的外邦人所行的，又行惡事惹動耶和華的怒氣；且事奉偶像，就是耶和華警戒他們不可行的。但耶和華藉眾先知、先見勸戒以色列人和猶大人說：「當離開你們的惡行，謹守我的誡命律例，遵行我吩咐你們列祖，並藉我僕人眾先知所傳給你們的律法。」他們卻不聽從，竟硬着頸項，效法他們列祖，不信服耶和華－他們的神，厭棄他的律例和他與他們列祖所立的約，並勸戒他們的話，隨從虛無的神，自己成為虛妄，效法周圍的外邦人，就是耶和華囑咐他們不可效法的；離棄耶和華－他們神的一切誡命，為自己鑄了兩個牛犢的像，立了亞舍拉，敬拜天上的萬象，事奉巴力，又使他們的兒女經火，用占卜，行法術賣了自己，行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，惹動他的怒氣。所以耶和華向以色列人大大發怒，從自己面前趕出他們，只剩下猶大一個支派。猶大人也不遵守耶和華－他們神的誡命，隨從以色列人所立的條規。 (cunpt)

因此，我將她交在她所愛的人手中，就是她所戀愛的亞述人手中。 (cunpt)

你們要與你們的母親大大爭辯；因為她不是我的妻子，我也不是她的丈夫。叫她除掉臉上的淫像和胸間的淫態，免得我剝她的衣服，使她赤體，與才生的時候一樣，使她如曠野，如乾旱之地，因渴而死。 (cunpt)

以色列啊，你雖然行淫，猶大卻不可犯罪。不要往吉甲去，不要上到伯‧亞文，也不要指着永生的耶和華起誓。以色列倔強，猶如倔強的母牛；現在耶和華要放他們，如同放羊羔在寬闊之地。以法蓮親近偶像，任憑他吧！ (cunpt)

「她妹妹阿荷利巴雖然看見了，卻還貪戀，比她姊姊更醜；行淫亂比她姊姊更多。她貪戀鄰邦的亞述人，就是穿極華美的衣服，騎着馬的省長、副省長，都是可愛的少年人。我看見她被玷污了，她姊妹二人同行一路。阿荷利巴又加增淫行，因她看見人像畫在牆上，就是用丹色所畫迦勒底人的像，腰間繫着帶子，頭上有下垂的裹頭巾，都是軍長的形狀，仿照巴比倫人的形像；他們的故土就是迦勒底。阿荷利巴一看見就貪戀他們，打發使者往迦勒底去見他們。巴比倫人就來登她愛情的牀，與她行淫玷污她。她被玷污，隨後心裏與他們生疏。這樣，她顯露淫行，又顯露下體；我心就與她生疏，像先前與她姊姊生疏一樣。她還加增她的淫行，追念她幼年在埃及地行邪淫的日子，貪戀情人身壯精足，如驢如馬。這樣，你就想起你幼年的淫行。那時，埃及人擁抱你的懷，撫摸你的乳。」 (cunpt)

耶和華說：他們一切的惡事都在吉甲；我在那裏憎惡他們。因他們所行的惡，我必從我地上趕出他們去，不再憐愛他們；他們的首領都是悖逆的。以法蓮受責罰，根本枯乾，必不能結果，即或生產，我必殺他們所生的愛子。我的神必棄絕他們，因為他們不聽從他；他們也必飄流在列國中。 (cunpt)

希西家王第四年，就是以色列王以拉的兒子何細亞第七年，亞述王撒縵以色上來圍困撒馬利亞；過了三年就攻取了城。希西家第六年，以色列王何細亞第九年，撒馬利亞被攻取了。亞述王將以色列人擄到亞述，把他們安置在哈臘與歌散的哈博河邊，並米底亞人的城邑； (cunpt)
