我民哪，你们要从巴比伦中逃走，从迦勒底人之地出去，要像羊群前面走的公山羊。
Remove out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he goats before the flocks.
因我必激动联合的大国从北方上来攻击巴比伦，他们要摆阵攻击她。她必从那里被攻取。他们的箭好像善射之勇士的箭，一枝也不徒然返回。
For, lo, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country: and they shall set themselves in array against her; from thence she shall be taken: their arrows shall be as of a mighty expert man; none shall return in vain.
迦勒底必成为掠物。凡掳掠她的都必心满意足。这是耶和华说的。
And Chaldea shall be a spoil: all that spoil her shall be satisfied, saith the LORD.
抢夺我产业的阿，你们因欢喜快乐，且像踹谷撒欢的母牛犊，又像发嘶声的壮马。
Because ye were glad, because ye rejoiced, O ye destroyers of mine heritage, because ye are grown fat as the heifer at grass, and bellow as bulls;
你们的母巴比伦就极其抱愧，生你们的必然蒙羞。她要列在诸国之末，成为旷野，旱地，沙漠。
Your mother shall be sore confounded; she that bare you shall be ashamed: behold, the hindermost of the nations shall be a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.
所有拉弓的，你们要在巴比伦的四围摆阵，射箭攻击她。不要爱惜箭枝，因她得罪了耶和华。
Put yourselves in array against Babylon round about: all ye that bend the bow, shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she hath sinned against the LORD.
你们要将巴比伦撒种的和收割时拿镰刀的都剪除了。他们各人因怕欺压的刀剑，必归回本族，逃到本土。
Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him that handleth the sickle in the time of harvest: for fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn every one to his people, and they shall flee every one to his own land.
以色列是打散的羊，是被狮子赶出的。首先是亚述王将他吞灭，末后是巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒将他的骨头折断。
Israel is a scattered sheep; the lions have driven him away: first the king of Assyria hath devoured him; and last this Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath broken his bones.
所以万军之耶和华以色列的神如此说，我必罚巴比伦王和他的地，像我从前罚亚述王一样。
Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will punish the king of Babylon and his land, as I have punished the king of Assyria.
巴比伦哪，我为你设下网罗，你不知不觉被缠住。你被寻着，也被捉住。因为你与耶和华争竞。
I have laid a snare for thee, and thou art also taken, O Babylon, and thou wast not aware: thou art found, and also caught, because thou hast striven against the LORD.
