当那日有出酒的葡萄园。你们要指这园唱歌，说，
In that day sing ye unto her, A vineyard of red wine.
我耶和华是看守葡萄园的，我必时刻浇灌，昼夜看守，免得有人损害。
I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day.
不然，让他持住我的能力，使他与我和好。愿他与我和好。
Or let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; and he shall make peace with me.
主击打他们，岂像击打那些击打他们的人吗。他们被杀戮，岂像被他们所杀戮的吗。
Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote him? or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him?
枝条枯乾，必被折断。妇女要来，点火烧着，因为为这百姓蒙昧无知，所以创造他们的，必不怜恤他们，造成他们的，也不施恩与他们。
When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off: the women come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he that formed them will shew them no favour.
以色列人哪，到那日，耶和华必从大河，直到埃及小河，将你们一一的收集，如同人打树拾果一样。
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel.
犹大王约西亚的儿子约雅敬（约雅敬是西底家的别名，看第三节）登基的时候，有这话从耶和华临到耶利米说，
In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word unto Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
现在!我将这些地都交给我仆人巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒的手，我也将田野的走兽给他使用。
And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of the field have I given him also to serve him.
至于你们，不可听从你们的先知和占卜的，圆梦的，观兆的，以及行邪术的。他们告诉你们说，你们不致服事巴比伦王。
Therefore hearken not ye to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your enchanters, nor to your sorcerers, which speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon:
但哪一邦肯把颈项放在巴比伦王的轭下服事他，我必使那邦仍在本地存留，得以耕种居住。这是耶和华说的。
But the nations that bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, those will I let remain still in their own land, saith the LORD; and they shall till it, and dwell therein.
