3:1 以色列人哪，你們全家是我從埃及地領上來的，當聽耶和華攻擊你們的話：
3:2 在地上萬族中，我只認識你們；因此，我必追討你們的一切罪孽。
3:3 二人若不同心，豈能同行呢？
3:4 獅子若非抓食，豈能在林中咆哮呢？少壯獅子若無所得，豈能從洞中發聲呢？
3:5 若沒有機檻，雀鳥豈能陷在網羅裡呢？網羅若無所得，豈能從地上翻起呢？
3:6 城中若吹角，百姓豈不驚恐呢？災禍若臨到一城，豈非耶和華所降的嗎？
3:7 主耶和華若不將奧祕指示他的僕人─眾先知，就一無所行。
Hear this word that the Lord has spoken
against you, O people of Israel, against the whole family that I brought up out
of the land of Egypt:
“You only have I known
of all the families of the earth;
therefore I will punish you
for all your iniquities.
“Do
two walk together,
unless they have agreed to meet?
Does a lion roar in the forest,
when he has no prey?
Does a young lion cry out from his den,
if he has taken nothing?
Does a bird fall in a snare on the earth,
when there is no trap for it?
Does a snare spring up from the ground,
when it has taken nothing?
Is
a trumpet blown in a city,
and the people are not afraid?
Does disaster come to a city,
unless the Lord has done it?
“For the Lord God does nothing
without revealing his secret
to his servants the prophets.

上帝愛世人，所以透過先知將自己要做的事宣告出來，好叫人可以悔改－－歸向上帝，離棄罪惡。
然而上帝最為認識的以色列人，竟然最充滿罪惡呢！因為他們不聽先知的話，甚至基督來了都不知道呢！
今日教會若不警醒，也會落入以色列的下場，尤其是自以為是基督徒，卻不好好追求認識信仰的人，更是如此！在審判時，耶穌說：我不認識你們！
