¹ Yahweh spoke these words to me:

² “Go, preach this message[1] publicly for all Jerusalem to hear: ‘Yahweh says to you:

³ Israel, like the firstfruits of my harvest,

⁴ Jacob’s tribes, listen! Every clan of Israel, listen to the words of Yahweh.

⁵ He declares to you:

⁶ They never stopped to ask themselves,

⁷ “I brought you to this land of abundance

⁸ The priests did not stop and ask,

⁹ Therefore I, Yahweh, will bring charges against you once more,

¹⁰ “Go off to the Greek islands[15] and investigate for yourselves.

¹¹ Has a nation ever traded in its gods

¹² Be appalled, O heavens, and cringe with fear!

¹³ “My people are guilty of a double sin:

¹⁴ “Is Israel a slave? Was he born a slave?

¹⁵ His enemies have raged against him,

¹⁶ Moreover, Egyptian armies will march from Memphis and Tahpanhes.[23]

¹⁷ Israel, you have no one to blame but yourselves!

¹⁸ Why, then, would you now go down to Egypt

¹⁹ Your own wickedness punishes you.

²⁰ “Long ago, you broke your bond with me and severed ties.[28]

²¹ I planted you like a special vine[29]

²² Even if you scrubbed yourself with the strongest soap,

²³ “How dare you say, ‘I have not defiled myself.

²⁴ or like a wild female donkey

²⁵ Israel, don’t chase after other gods

²⁶ “Just as a thief is ashamed when caught in the act,

²⁷ You have called an idol of wood your ‘father’

²⁸ Now where are all your homemade gods?

²⁹ What right do you have to complain about me?

³⁰ “I’ve wasted my time punishing you

³¹ “O people of this generation,

³² Does a young woman disregard her engagement ring,

³³ How skillfully you pursue your lovers;

³⁴ Your clothes are stained

³⁵ you dare to say, ‘I’m innocent!

³⁶ Look how you cheapen yourself

³⁷ You will turn away from Egypt utterly humiliated,[39]
