3:1 「到那日，我使猶大和耶路撒冷被擄之人歸回的時候，
3:2 我要聚集萬民，帶他們下到約沙法谷，在那裡施行審判；因為他們將我的百姓，就是我的產業以色列，分散在列國中，又分取我的地土，
3:3 且為我的百姓拈鬮，將童子換妓女，賣童女買酒喝。
3:4 「泰爾、西頓，和非利士四境的人哪，你們與我何干？你們要報復我嗎？若報復我，我必使報應速速歸到你們的頭上。
3:5 你們既然奪取我的金銀，又將我可愛的寶物帶入你們宮殿（或譯：廟中），
3:6 並將猶大人和耶路撒冷人賣給希臘人（原文是雅完人），使他們遠離自己的境界。
3:7 我必激動他們離開你們所賣到之地，又必使報應歸到你們的頭上。
3:8 我必將你們的兒女賣在猶大人的手中，他們必賣給遠方示巴國的人。這是耶和華說的。」
1 "For behold, in those days and at
that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, 2 I will gather
all the nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. And I will
enter into judgment with them there, on behalf of my people and my heritage
Israel, because they have scattered them among the nations and have divided up
my land, 3 and have cast lots for my people, and have traded a boy for a
prostitute, and have sold a girl for wine and have drunk it.
4 "What are you to me, O Tyre and
Sidon, and all the regions of Philistia? Are you paying me back for something?
If you are paying me back, I will return your payment on your own head swiftly
and speedily. 5 For you have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried my
rich treasures into your temples. 6 You have sold the people of Judah and
Jerusalem to the Greeks in order to remove them far from their own border. 7
Behold, I will stir them up from the place to which you have sold them, and I
will return your payment on your own head. 8 I will sell your sons and your
daughters into the hand of the people of Judah, and they will sell them to the
Sabeans, to a nation far away, for the Lord has spoken."

在這裡讓我們在一次見到上帝心中掛念著猶大和耶路撒冷被擄之人，一再的預言祂們要重新歸回耶路撒冷，已完成上帝的公義。所以，歸回是上帝的心意，是上帝不忍心丟棄祂的百姓！
上帝不丟棄祂的百姓，更不丟棄祂在基督裡撿選的人！因為這群人是用祂兒子寶血買贖回來的真子民，是上帝付上極大代價所完成的！若有人攻擊教會，上帝會用大大的懲罰臨到那些人！
讓我們一同來信靠上帝的應許，盼望將來與基督一同做王，進入榮耀之境！
