1 "犹大的罪是用铁笔铭记的， 是用金钢钻刻在他们的心版上， 和他们（"他们"有古抄本作"你们"）祭坛的角上。 2 他们的儿女也怀念着那些在各高冈上、在繁茂树旁的祭坛和亚舍拉。 3 我在田野的山哪！ 因你在四境之内所犯的罪， 我必把你的财产、一切宝物和你的邱坛， 给敌人作掠物。（本节或译： "因你在四境之内所犯的罪， 我必把我在田野的山、你的财产、一切宝物和你的邱坛， 给敌人作掠物。"） 4 因你自己的缘故， 我赐给你的产业， 你必失掉； 我必使你在你不认识的地方， 服事你的仇敌； 因为你们惹起我的怒火， 我的怒火必燃烧到永远。" 5 耶和华这样说： "倚靠世人， 恃凭肉体为自己的力量， 心里偏离耶和华的， 这人该受咒诅。 6 他必像沙漠中的灌木， 福乐来到， 他也必看不见， 却要住在旷野干旱之地、无人居住的咸地。 7 但倚靠耶和华， 以耶和华为他所信赖的， 这人是有福的。 8 他必像一棵树， 栽种在水边， 树根伸进河里； 炎热来到， 并不害怕， 树叶仍然繁茂； 在荒旱之年， 它不挂虑， 并且不断结果子。" 9 人心比万物都诡诈， 无法医治； 谁能识透呢？ 10 "我耶和华是察透人心， 试验人肺腑的， 要照着各人的行为， 和各人所作的事应得的结果报应各人。" 11 使用不公正的方法发财的， 就像一只鹧鸪孵了不是自己所生的蛋； 到了中年， 那财富必离开他， 最后他必成为一个愚昧人。 12 我们的圣所是荣耀的宝座， 从起初就矗立在高处。 13 耶和华以色列的盼望啊！ 离弃你的， 都必蒙羞； 偏离你（"你"原文作"我"）的， 他们的名字必写在沙土上， 因为他们离弃了耶和华这活水的源头。 14 耶和华啊！ 求你医治我， 我就得医治； 求你拯救我， 我就得拯救； 因为你是我所赞美的。 15 看哪！ 他们常常对我说： "耶和华的话在哪里？使它应验（"应验"原文作"来"）吧！ " 16 至于我， 我没有急忙离弃那跟从你作牧人的职分（"我没有急忙离弃那跟从你作牧人的职分"有古译本作"我没有催逼你降灾祸"）， 也没有想望灾难的日子， 这是你知道的； 我嘴里所出的话都在你面前。 17 求你不要使我因你惊恐， 在灾祸的日子， 你是我的避难所。 18 愿那些迫害我的蒙羞， 却不要叫我蒙羞； 愿他们惊恐， 却不要使我惊恐； 求你使灾祸的日子临到他们， 加倍毁灭他们。 19 耶和华对我这样说： "你去站在犹大列王出入的城门（"城门"原文作"人民城门"）， 又站在耶路撒冷的各城门口， 20 对他们说： ‘耶路撒冷诸王、犹大众民和所有进入这些城门的犹大居民哪！ 你们要听他耶和华的话。 21 耶和华这样说： 为了自己的性命， 你们要谨慎， 不可在安息日挑担子， 不可挑进耶路撒冷的城门。 22 也不可在安息日从你们家里挑担子出来； 什么工都不可作， 却要守安息日为圣日， 正如我吩咐你们列祖的。 23 你们的列祖却没有听从， 毫不在意， 反而硬着颈项不肯听， 不受管教。’" 24 耶和华宣告说： "但如果你们真心听从我， 不在安息日挑担子进入这城的城门， 并且守安息日为圣日， 在那日不作任何工作； 25 这样， 就必有坐大卫王位的列王， 并有众领袖随着， 进入这城的城门； 列王和众领袖乘着车， 骑着马， 跟犹大人和耶路撒冷的居民一同进入这城。这城必永远有人居住。 26 必有人从犹大的各城和耶路撒冷周围的各处， 从便雅悯地、低地、山地和南地而来； 他们带着燔祭、平安祭、素祭、乳香和感恩祭到耶和华的殿里去。 27 但如果你们不听从我， 不守安息日为圣日， 仍在安息日挑担子， 进入耶路撒冷的城门； 这样， 我就必在耶路撒冷的各城门点起火来， 烧毁耶路撒冷的堡垒， 没有人能够扑灭。"

1 The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, With the point of a diamond, Graven on the tablet of their heart, And on the horns of your altars,2 As their sons remember their altars and their shrines, By the green tree, by the high hills.3 O My mountain in the field -- thy strength, All thy treasures -- for a prey I give, Thy high places for sin in all thy borders.4 And thou hast let go -- even through thyself, Of thine inheritance that I gave to thee, And I have caused thee to serve thine enemies, In a land that thou hast not known, For a fire ye have kindled in Mine anger, Unto the age it doth burn.5 Thus said Jehovah: Cursed [is] the man who doth trust in man, And hath made flesh his arm, And from Jehovah whose heart turneth.6 And he hath been as a naked thing in a desert, And doth not see when good cometh, And hath inhabited parched places in a wilderness, A salt land, and not inhabited.7 Blessed [is] the man who trusteth in Jehovah, And whose confidence hath been Jehovah.8 And hath been as a tree planted by waters, And by a rivulet he sendeth forth his roots, And he doth not see when heat cometh, And his leaf hath been green, And in a year of dearth he is not sorrowful, Nor doth he cease from making fruit.9 Crooked [is] the heart above all things, And it [is] incurable -- who doth know it?10 I Jehovah do search the heart, try the reins, Even to give to each according to his way, According to the fruit of his doings.11 A partridge hatching, and not bringing forth, [Is] one making wealth, and not by right, In the midst of his days he doth forsake it, And in his latter end -- he is a fool.12 A throne of honour on high from the beginning, The place of our sanctuary,13 The hope of Israel [is] Jehovah, All forsaking Thee are ashamed, And `My apostates` in the earth are written, For they have forsaken Jehovah, A fountain of living waters.14 Heal me, O Jehovah, and I am healed, Save me, and I am saved, for my praise [art] Thou.15 Lo, they are saying unto me: `Where [is] the word of Jehovah? pray, let it come.`16 And I hastened not from feeding after Thee, And the desperate day I have not desired, Thou -- Thou hast known, The produce of my lips, before Thy face it hath been,17 Be not Thou to me for a terror, My hope [art] Thou in a day of evil.18 Let my pursuers be ashamed, and let not me be ashamed -- me! Let them be affrighted, and let not me be affrighted -- me! Bring in on them a day of evil, And a second time [with] destruction destroy them.19 Thus said Jehovah unto me: `Go, and thou hast stood in the gate of the sons of the people, by which kings of Judah come in, and by which they go out, and in all gates of Jerusalem,20 and thou hast said unto them: Hear a word of Jehovah, ye kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all inhabitants of Jerusalem, who are coming in by these gates,21 Thus said Jehovah, Take ye heed to yourselves, And ye bear not a burden on the day of rest, Nor have ye brought [it] in by the gates of Jerusalem.22 Nor do ye take out a burden from your houses on the day of rest, Yea, any work ye do not do, And ye have sanctified the day of rest, As I have commanded your fathers.23 And they have not hearkened nor inclined their ear, And they stiffen their neck not to hear, And not to receive instruction.24 And it hath been, if ye certainly hearken unto Me, An affirmation of Jehovah, So as not to bring in a burden By the gates of this city on the day of rest, And to sanctify the day of rest, So as not to do in it any work --25 Then entered by the gates of this city have kings and princes, Sitting on the throne of David, Riding in a chariot, and on horses, They, and their princes, the man of Judah, And inhabitants of Jerusalem, And this city hath remained to the age.26 And they have come in from cities of Judah, And from suburbs of Jerusalem, And from the land of Benjamin, And from the low country, And from the hill-country, and from the south, Bringing in burnt-offering, and sacrifice, And present, and frankincense, And bringing praise [to] the house of Jehovah.27 And if ye do not hearken unto me to sanctify the day of rest, And so as not to bear a burden, And to come in at the gates of Jerusalem on the day of rest, Then I have kindled a fire in its gates, And it hath consumed the high places of Jerusalem, And it is not quenched!`
