我原教导以法莲行走，用膀臂抱着他们，他们却不知道是我医治他们。
I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them.
以法莲用谎话，以色列家用诡计围绕我，犹大却靠神掌权，向圣者有忠心。（或作犹大向神，向诚实的圣者犹疑不定）。
Ephraim compasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the saints.
买他们的宰了他们，以自己为无罪。卖他们的说，耶和华是应当称颂的，因我成为富足。牧养他们的并不怜恤他们。
Whose possessors slay them, and hold themselves not guilty: and they that sell them say, Blessed be the LORD; for I am rich: and their own shepherds pity them not.
于是，我牧养这将宰的群羊，就是群中最困苦的羊。我拿着两根杖。一根我称为荣美，一根我称为联索。这样，我牧养了群羊。
And I will feed the flock of slaughter, even you, O poor of the flock. And I took unto me two staves; the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock.
我就说，我不牧养你们。要死的，由他死。要丧亡的，由他丧亡。馀剩的，由他们彼此相食。
Then said I, I will not feed you: that that dieth, let it die; and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat every one the flesh of another.
我折断那称为荣美的杖，表明我废弃与万民所立的约。
And I took my staff, even Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the people.
当日就废弃了。这样，那些仰望我的困苦羊，就知道所说的是耶和华的话。
And it was broken in that day: and so the poor of the flock that waited upon me knew that it was the word of the LORD.
耶和华吩咐我说，要把众人所估定美好的价值，丢给窑户。我便将这三十块钱，在耶和华的殿中丢给窑户了。
And the LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prised at of them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD.
我又折断称为联索的那根杖，表明我废弃犹大与以色列弟兄的情谊。
Then I cut asunder mine other staff, even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
无用的牧人丢弃羊群有祸了。刀必临到他的膀臂，和右眼上。他的膀臂必全然枯乾，他的右眼也必昏暗失明。
Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.
