耶和华如此说，你们要施行公平和公义，拯救被抢夺的脱离欺压人的手，不可亏负寄居的和孤儿寡妇，不可以强暴待他们，在这地方也不可流无辜人的血。
Thus saith the LORD; Execute ye judgment and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed innocent blood in this place.
你们若认真行这事，就必有坐大卫宝座的君王和他的臣仆百姓，或坐车或骑马，从这城的各门进入。
For if ye do this thing indeed, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house kings sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, he, and his servants, and his people.
你们若不听这些话，耶和华说，我指着自己起誓，这城必变为荒场。
But if ye will not hear these words, I swear by myself, saith the LORD, that this house shall become a desolation.
不要为死人哭号。不要为他悲伤，却要为离家出外的人大大哭号。因为他不得再回来，也不得再见他的本国。
Weep ye not for the dead, neither bemoan him: but weep sore for him that goeth away: for he shall return no more, nor see his native country.
因为耶和华论到从这地方出去的犹大王约西亚的儿子沙龙（在列王下二十三章三十节名约哈斯），就是接续他父亲约西亚作王的，这样说，他必不得再回到这里来，
For thus saith the LORD touching Shallum the son of Josiah king of Judah, which reigned instead of Josiah his father, which went forth out of this place; He shall not return thither any more:
他说，我要为自己盖广大的房，宽敞的楼，为自己开窗户。这楼房的护墙板是香柏木的，楼房是丹色油漆的。
That saith, I will build me a wide house and large chambers, and cutteth him out windows; and it is cieled with cedar, and painted with vermilion.
难道你作王是在乎造香柏木楼房争胜吗。你的父亲岂不是也吃也喝，也施行公平和公义吗。那时他得了福乐。
Shalt thou reign, because thou closest thyself in cedar? did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, and then it was well with him?
我也必将你和生你的母亲赶到别国，并不是你们生的地方。你们必死在那里，
And I will cast thee out, and thy mother that bare thee, into another country, where ye were not born; and there shall ye die.
地阿，地阿，地阿，当听耶和华的话。
O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the LORD.
你因流了人的血，就为有罪。你作了偶像，就玷污自己，使你受报之日临近，报应之年来到。所以我叫你受列国的凌辱和列邦的讥诮。
Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed; and hast defiled thyself in thine idols which thou hast made; and thou hast caused thy days to draw near, and art come even unto thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach unto the heathen, and a mocking to all countries.
