你姐姐是撒玛利亚，她和她的女儿们住在你的北面。你妹妹是所多玛，她和她的女儿们住在你的南面。

信差遵照王的命令带着王和众官员的信走遍以色列和犹大，宣告说：“以色列人啊，你们应当归向亚伯拉罕、以撒和以色列的上帝耶和华，好使祂转向你们这些从亚述王手中逃脱的余民。不要效法你们的祖先和亲族，他们对他们祖先的上帝耶和华不忠，以致耶和华使他们的下场很可怕，正如你们所见的。现在，不要像你们的祖先那样顽固不化；要顺服耶和华，进入祂永远圣洁的圣所，事奉你们的上帝耶和华，好使祂的烈怒转离你们。你们若归向祂，你们的弟兄和儿女必蒙掳走他们之人的怜悯，得以回归此地，因为你们的上帝耶和华有恩典，好怜悯。你们若归向祂，祂必不会转脸不顾你们。”信差将这通告逐城传遍以法莲和玛拿西，直到西布伦，可是那些地方的人却嘲笑、戏弄他们。然而，有些亚设人、玛拿西人和西布伦人谦卑悔改，来到耶路撒冷。耶和华上帝感动犹大人，使他们一心遵从王与众官员奉祂的指示所下的命令。

耶和华借着祂的众先知和先见警告以色列人和犹大人说：“你们要离开恶道，遵守我的诫命和律例，即我吩咐你们祖先遵守并借着我的仆人——众先知传给你们的律法。”但他们充耳不闻，像他们祖先一样顽固不化，不信靠他们的上帝耶和华，

来吧，让我们归向耶和华！祂撕裂我们，也必医治我们；祂击打我们，也必为我们裹伤。过两天，祂必复兴我们；第三天，祂必使我们站立起来，在祂面前存活。让我们认识耶和华，竭力认识耶和华！祂必到来，如同必然显露的曙光，又如滋润大地的春雨。耶和华说：“以法莲啊，我该怎样待你呢？犹大啊，我该怎样待你呢？你们对我的爱像晨雾，如转瞬即逝的朝露。

以色列啊，你被自己的罪恶绊倒了，归向你的上帝耶和华吧！

因为以色列不忠贞，我给她休书，把她休掉。她不忠的妹妹犹大却不害怕，竟也去淫乱。以色列肆意淫乱，拜石头木头，玷污了土地。尽管如此，她不忠的妹妹犹大只是假装归向我，并不诚心。这是耶和华说的。”耶和华对我说：“不忠贞的以色列比奸诈的犹大罪过还轻。

“人子啊，有一对同胞姊妹，她们在埃及做娼妓，年轻时就淫乱，任人抚摸她们的胸，玩弄她们的乳。姐姐名叫阿荷拉，妹妹名叫阿荷利巴。后来她们都归属了我，并且生儿育女。阿荷拉即撒玛利亚，阿荷利巴即耶路撒冷。
