你们究竟将谁比神，用什么形像与神比较呢。
To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him?
穷乏献不起这样供物的，就拣选不能朽坏的树木，为自己寻梢巧匠，立起不能摇动的偶像。
He that is so impoverished that he hath no oblation chooseth a tree that will not rot; he seeketh unto him a cunning workman to prepare a graven image, that shall not be moved.
他们是刚才栽上，（刚才或作不曾下同）刚才种上，根也刚才扎在地里，他一吹在其上，便都枯乾，旋风将他们吹去，像碎秸一样。
Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not be sown: yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth: and he shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble.
你们向上举目，看谁创造这万象，按数目领出，他一一称其名。因他的权能，又因他的大能大力，连一个都不缺。
Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth.
耶利米还没有回去，护卫长说，你可以回到沙番的孙子亚希甘的儿子基大利那里去。现在巴比伦王立他作犹大城邑的省长。你可以在他那里住在民中，不然，你看那里合宜就可以上那里去。于是护卫长送他粮食和礼物，释放他去
Now while he was not yet gone back, he said, Go back also to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon hath made governor over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him among the people: or go wheresoever it seemeth convenient unto thee to go. So the captain of the guard gave him victuals and a reward, and let him go.
于是军长尼探雅的儿子以实玛利，加利亚的两个儿子约哈难和约拿单，单户篾的儿子西莱雅，并尼陀法人以斐的众子，玛迦人的儿子耶撒尼亚和属他们的人，都到米斯巴见基大利。
Then they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan and Jonathan the sons of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah the son of a Maachathite, they and their men.
沙番的孙子亚希甘的儿子基大利向他们和属他们的人起誓说，不要怕服事迦勒底人，只管住在这地，服事巴比伦王，就可以得福。
And Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan sware unto them and to their men, saying, Fear not to serve the Chaldeans: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.
这一切犹大人就从所赶到的各处回来，到犹大地米斯巴的基大利那里，又积蓄了许多的酒，并夏天的果子。
Even all the Jews returned out of all places whither they were driven, and came to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah, unto Mizpah, and gathered wine and summer fruits very much.
加利亚的儿子约哈难和在田野的一切军长来到米斯巴见基大利，
Moreover Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were in the fields, came to Gedaliah to Mizpah,
加利亚的儿子约哈难在米斯巴私下对基大利说，求你容我去杀尼探雅的儿子以实玛利，必无人知道。何必让他要你的命，使聚集到你这里来的犹大人都分散，以致犹大剩下的人都灭亡呢？
Then Johanan the son of Kareah spake to Gedaliah in Mizpah secretly, saying, Let me go, I pray thee, and I will slay Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and no man shall know it: wherefore should he slay thee, that all the Jews which are gathered unto thee should be scattered, and the remnant in Judah perish?
