他们对我说,耶和华的话在哪里呢。叫这话应验吧。
Behold, they say unto me, Where is the word of the LORD? let it come now.
耶路撒冷的房屋和犹大君王的宫殿是已经被玷污的,就是他们在其上向天上的万象烧香,向别神浇奠祭的宫殿房屋,都必与陀斐特一样。
And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, shall be defiled as the place of Tophet, because of all the houses upon whose roofs they have burned incense unto all the host of heaven, and have poured out drink offerings unto other gods.
我若说,我不再提耶和华,也不再奉他的名讲论,我便心里觉得似乎有烧着的火闭塞在我骨中,我就含忍不住,不能自禁。
Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.
却要死在被掳去的地方,必不得再见这地。
But he shall die in the place whither they have led him captive, and shall see this land no more.
又有埃及王法老和他的臣仆,首领,以及他的众民,
Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people;
国中的长老就有几个人起来,对聚会的众民说,
Then rose up certain of the elders of the land, and spake to all the assembly of the people, saying,
锡安的路径因无人来守圣节就悲伤。她的城门凄凉。她的祭司叹息。她的处女受艰难,自己也愁苦。
The ways of Zion do mourn, because none come to the solemn feasts: all her gates are desolate: her priests sigh, her virgins are afflicted, and she is in bitterness.
夜间,每逢交更的时候要起来呼喊,在主面前倾心如水。你的孩童在各市口上受饿发昏。你要为他们的性命向主举手祷告。
Arise, cry out in the night: in the beginning of the watches pour out thine heart like water before the face of the LORD: lift up thy hands toward him for the life of thy young children, that faint for hunger in the top of every street.
因为,儿子藐视父亲,女儿抗拒母亲,媳妇抗拒婆婆。人的仇敌,就是自己家里的人。
For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house.
我要忍受耶和华的恼怒,因我得罪了他。直等他为我辨屈,为我伸冤。他必领我到光明中,我必得见他的公义。
I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness.
