Ἔκρυψαν ἱερεῖς ὁδὸν Κυρίου, ἐφόνευσαν Σίκιμα, δυ’ ἀνομίαν ἐποίησαν ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ Ἰσραήλ. βἶδον φρικώδη ἐκεῖ, πορνείαν τοῦ Ἐφραΐμ, ἐμιάνθη Ισραὴλ κω Ἰούδας. Ἱστοριῶν ἐσθ’ ὅτε τινῶν ὁ τῶν ἁγίων προφητῶν διαμέμνηται λόγος, ἃς εἴπερ τις ἕλοιτο σιωπᾶν, οὐδ’ ἂν δύνοιτο διατρανοῦν τῶν εἰρημένων τὸν νοῦν. χρὴ τοιγαροῦν ὄκνου μὲν εἶναι κρείττονας τοὺς τὰ τοιάδε σαφῶς διερμηνεύειν ἐθέλοντας, πανταχόθεν δὲ τοῖς ἀκροωμένοις τὸ τελοῦν εἰς ὄνησιν ἐξεργάζεσθαι φιλεῖν.
