凡你们点火用火把围绕自己的。可以行在你们的火焰里,并你们所点的火把中。这是我手所定的。你们必躺在悲惨之中。
Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow.
你们要在万国中传扬报告,竖立大旗。要报告,不可隐瞒,说,巴比伦被攻取,彼勒蒙羞,米罗达惊惶。巴比伦的神像都蒙羞。她的偶像都惊惶。
Declare ye among the nations, and publish, and set up a standard; publish, and conceal not: say, Babylon is taken, Bel is confounded, Merodach is broken in pieces; her idols are confounded, her images are broken in pieces.
因有一国从北方上来攻击她,使她的地荒凉,无人居住,连人带牲畜都逃走了。
For out of the north there cometh up a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein: they shall remove, they shall depart, both man and beast.
耶和华说,当那日子,那时候,以色列人要和犹大人同来,随走随哭,寻求耶和华他们的神。
In those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together, going and weeping: they shall go, and seek the LORD their God.
我的百姓作了迷失的羊,牧人使他们走差路,使他们转到山上。他们从大山走到小山,竟忘了安歇之处。
My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their restingplace.
凡遇见他们的,就把他们吞灭。敌人说,我们没有罪。因他们得罪那作公义居所的耶和华,就是他们列祖所仰望的耶和华。
All that found them have devoured them: and their adversaries said, We offend not, because they have sinned against the LORD, the habitation of justice, even the LORD, the hope of their fathers.
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.
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.
你们要在她四围呐喊。她已经投降。外郭坍塌了,城墙拆毁了,因为这是耶和华报仇的事。你们要向巴比伦报仇。她怎样待人,也要怎样待她。
Shout against her round about: she hath given her hand: her foundations are fallen, her walls are thrown down: for it is the vengeance of the LORD: take vengeance upon her; as she hath done, do unto her.
我必再领以色列回他的草场,他必在迦密和巴珊吃草,又在以法莲山上和基列境内得以饱足。
And I will bring Israel again to his habitation, and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan, and his soul shall be satisfied upon mount Ephraim and Gilead.
