耶和华的话临到我说，
And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
所以主耶和华如此说，因你们都成为渣滓，我必聚集你们在耶路撒冷中。
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye are all become dross, behold, therefore I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.
我必聚集你们，把我烈怒的火吹在你们身上，你们就在其中熔化。
Yea, I will gather you, and blow upon you in the fire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst thereof.
银子怎样熔化在炉中，你们也必照样熔化在城中，你们就知道我耶和华是将忿怒倒在你们身上了。
As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall ye be melted in the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I the LORD have poured out my fury upon you.
其中的祭司强解我的律法，亵渎我的圣物，不分别圣的和俗的，也不使人分辨洁净的和不洁净的，又遮眼不顾我的安息日。我也在他们中间被亵慢。
Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.
其中的首领彷佛豺狼抓撕掠物，杀人流血，伤害人命，要得不义之财。
Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain.
其中的先知为百姓用未泡透的灰抹墙，就是为他们见虚假的异象，用谎诈的占卜，说，主耶和华如此说，其实耶和华没有说。
And her prophets have daubed them with untempered morter, seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord GOD, when the LORD hath not spoken.
国内众民一味地欺压，惯行抢夺，亏负困苦穷乏的，背理欺压寄居的。
The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yea, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully.
我在他们中间寻梢一人重修墙垣，在我面前为这国站在破口防堵，使我不灭绝这国，却找不着一个。
And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.
王又打发别的仆人说，你们告诉那被召的人，我的筵席已经豫备好了，牛和肥畜已经宰了，各样都齐备。请你们来赴席。
Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.
