“ Ephraim is like a dove, easily deceived and senseless— now calling to Egypt, now turning to Assyria.

The Lord says,“ The people of Ephraim are like a dove. They are easily tricked. They do not have any sense at all. First they call out to Egypt for help. Then they turn to Assyria.

Ephraim is like a dove, silly and without sense, calling to Egypt, going to Assyria.

“ The people of Israel have become like silly, witless doves, first calling to Egypt, then flying to Assyria for help.

So Ephraim has become like a silly, senseless dove; they call to Egypt, and they go to Assyria.

So Ephraim has become like a gullible dove, without sense; They call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.

“ Ephraim also is like a silly dove, without sense— They call to Egypt, They go to Assyria.

And Ephraim is like a silly dove, without understanding: they call unto Egypt, they go to Assyria.

So Ephraim has become like a silly, senseless dove; they call to Egypt, and they go to Assyria.

Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart: they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.

Ephraim has been like a dove, easily deceived and lacking discernment. They called to Egypt for help; they turned to Assyria for protection.

與女人通姦的，缺乏心智；行這事的，毀滅自己。

愚昧人既然沒有心智，為什麼手中還拿著銀錢要買智慧呢？

耶和華宣告：「禍哉！悖逆的兒女！他們所行的計劃不出於我，所立的盟約不出於我的靈，致使他們罪上加罪。他們沒有求問我，就起身下埃及去，在法老的保護下避難，投靠在埃及的蔭庇下。因此，法老的保護必成為他們的恥辱；投靠在埃及的蔭庇下，也必成為他們的羞愧。雖然他們的首領們已經在瑣安，他們的使者們已經到達哈內斯，但他們卻因那無益之民而蒙羞——那民不能給他們帶來幫助和益處，只能帶來恥辱和羞辱。」與南地動物有關的默示：他們把財富馱在驢子背上，把寶物馱在駱駝峰上，經過艱難困苦之地，就是公獅、母獅、蝮蛇和會飛的火蛇出沒之地，要到一個無益於他們的民那裡。

忽視管教的，厭棄自己的靈魂；聽從責備的，獲得智慧的心。

禍哉！那些下埃及求幫助的人！他們依仗馬匹，依靠戰車眾多、馬兵強大，卻不仰望以色列的聖者，也不尋求耶和華。然而耶和華有智慧，他降下災禍，不收回自己的話；他起來攻擊作惡者的家，攻擊助紂為虐的人。埃及人不過是人，不是神；他們的馬不過是血肉，不是靈。耶和華一伸手，那幫助人的就會絆倒，受幫助的也會仆倒，他們都會一同滅絕。
