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.

于是骑御用快马的信差奉王命催促，急忙起行；敕令传遍了书珊城堡。

通报的彼此相遇，送信的彼此相遇，报告巴比伦王，城的四方都被攻下了，

在以色列王比加的日子，亚述王提革拉‧毗列色来夺取以云、亚伯‧伯‧玛迦、亚挪、基低斯、夏琐、基列、加利利和拿弗他利全地，把这些地方的居民都掳到亚述去了。

亚述王提革拉‧毗列色来攻击他，不帮助他，反倒欺负他。

“我的日子比奔跑者更快，急速过去，不见福乐。

亚述王普勒来攻击这地，米拿现给他一千他连得银子，为了请普勒帮助他巩固他所掌握的国度。

耶和华说：“以色列啊，你若回转，回转归向我，若从我眼前除掉你可憎的偶像，不再犹疑不定，

以色列啊，你要归向耶和华—你的神，你因自己的罪孽跌倒了。

你要对他们说，主耶和华说：我指着我的永生起誓，我断不喜悦恶人死亡，惟喜悦恶人转离他所行的道而存活。以色列家啊，你们回转，回转离开恶道吧！何必死亡呢？

当趁耶和华可寻找的时候寻找他，在他接近的时候求告他。恶人当离弃自己的道路，不义的人应除掉自己的意念。归向耶和华，耶和华就必怜悯他；当归向我们的神，因为他必广行赦免。

因此，以色列的神激发亚述王普勒，就是亚述王提革拉‧毗列色的心，他掳掠了吕便人、迦得人、玛拿西半支派的人，把他们带到哈腊、哈博、哈拉与歌散河边，直到今日。

耶和华啊，求你使我们回转归向你，我们就得以回转。求你更新我们的年日，像古时一样，

国内剩下的人若还有十分之一，也必被吞灭。然而如同大树与橡树，虽被砍伐，残干却仍存留，圣洁的苗裔是它的残干。”

若不是万军之耶和华为我们留下一些幸存者，我们早已变成所多玛，像蛾摩拉一样了。

然而你们现在要禁食，哭泣，哀号，一心归向我。这是耶和华说的。你们要撕裂心肠，不要撕裂衣服。归向耶和华—你们的神，因为他有恩惠，有怜悯，不轻易发怒，有丰盛的慈爱，并且会改变心意，不降那灾难。谁知道他也许会回心转意，留下余福，就是献给耶和华—你们神的素祭和浇酒祭。

要亲近神，神就必亲近你们。有罪的人哪，要洁净你们的手！心怀二意的人哪，要清洁你们的心！
